A slope intercept form: y = mx + b where m = slope and b = y -intercept
A slope of 3/2 is given
So y = 3/2 x + b
To find b:
b = y - mx
A line passes through the point (4, -6)
b = -6 - (3/2)(4)
b = -6 - 6
b = - 12
Answer
Equation in slope intercept form: y = 3/2 x - 12
Answer:
Jada should have multiplied both sides of the equation by 108.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is incomplete. Find the complete question in the comment section.
Given the equation -4/9 = x/108, in order to determine Jada's error, we need to solve in our own way as shown:
Step 1: Multiply both sides of the equation by -9/4 as shown:
-4/9 × -9/4 = x/108 × -9/4
-36/-36 = -9x/432
1 = -9x/432
1 = -x/48
Cross multiplying
48 = -x
x = -48
It can also be solved like this:
Given -4/9 = x/108
Multiply both sides by 108 to have:
-4/9 * 108 = x/108 * 108
-4/9 * 108 = 108x/108
-432/9 = x
x = -48
Jada should have simply follow the second calculation by multiplying both sides of the equation by 108 as shown.
6x^2 = 54
6(x^2) = 54
6(x^2)/6 = 54/6
x^2 = 9
rt(x^2) = rt(9)
x = 3
hope this helps
