<u>We know that:</u>
Slope of a line = change in y coordinate / change in x coordinate
<u>We are given:</u>
First point = (2,5)
Second point = (5, 14)
<u>Calculating the change in y coordinate:</u>
change in y (also represented by Δy) = second y - first y
Δy = 14 - 5
Δy = 9
<u>Calculating the change in x coordinate:</u>
Δx = second x - first x
Δx = 5 - 2
Δx = 3
<u>Slope of the line:</u>
Slope = (Δy) / (Δx)
Slope = 9 / 3 [replacing the values]
Slope = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
let the unknown number be x
1St step: twice the number is 2(x) =2x
2nd step: 2x -14
3rd step: 2x - 14=28...
Answer:
$ 4.07
Step-by-step explanation:
The problem is asking for the Increase in the stock price from Monday to Tuesday, meaning they want to know the difference between the stock price on Monday and Tuesday.
So we subtract Monday's price from Tuesday's price.
$60.19- 56.12 = $4.07
You can set up two equations from the information given. I will set them up for you:
32 = 4x + 2y
36 = 5x + 2y
Let's solve the first equation to come up with a value for y.
32 = 4x + 2y
32 - 4x = 2y
16 - 2x = y
Now we plug y into the other equation.
36 = 5x + 2(16-2x)
36 = 5x + 32 - 4x
4 = x
Now we have our real x value and we can plug it into the first equation.
32 = 4(4) + 2y
32 = 16 + 2y
16 = 2y
8 = y
Since x = 4 and y = 8, you get the final coordinates of (4,8).
Your answer is the second statement provided above.
