Find the slope:
(-19 - 11) / (-8 - 2) = (-30/-10) = 3
Find the y intercept:
y = mx + b
11 = 3(2) + b
b= 5
So equation is:
y = 3x + 5
Looks good! You have the right answers.
However, the graph for 12 and 15 is inaccurate! Because he starts from a stop sign/stop light, the graph's speed should start from the origin!
Not to confuse you or anything, but this means the graph does not follow the description of the problem. Please let your teacher know so s/he can fix the worksheet.
Answer:
a. 1 pair of pants is $6
b. $66 for 11 pairs of pants
a. 18/3 = 6
b. 6 × 11 = 66
when running a line, in a right-triangle, from the 90° angle perpendicular to its opposite side, we will end up with three similar triangles, one Small, one Medium and a containing Large one, from where we can use proportions to get their sides, so Check the picture below.
I think (0,0) is the only one that starts at 0 for both x and y and stay the same if the add the 3 to x and 6 to y.
