Y = mx + b

First equation 1 = m(4) + b, bring everything to one side m(4) + b - 1 = 0
Second equation 7 = m(5) + b, bring everything to one side m(5) + b - 7 = 0

Set them equal to each other, 

m(4) + b - 1 = m(5) + b - 7

If you bring the b over to the left hand side it becomes

m(4) + b - b - 1 = m(5) - 7

m(4) - 1 = m(5) - 7

Solve for m

6 = m

Plug m = 6 into either equation from the beginning,

m(4) + b - 1 = 0

6(4) + b - 1 = 0

24 + b - 1 = 0

b = -23

Knowing m and b we can now make an equation

y = mx + b

y = 6x -23 Final answer

The area of a regular octagon is 35 cm^2. What is the area of a regular octagon with sides five times as long?
Marat540 [252]
So... let's say the smaller regular octagon has sides of "x" long, then the larger octagon will have sides of 5x.

\bf \qquad \qquad \textit{ratio relations}&#10;\\\\&#10;\begin{array}{ccccllll}&#10;&Sides&Area&Volume\\&#10;&-----&-----&-----\\&#10;\cfrac{\textit{similar shape}}{\textit{similar shape}}&\cfrac{s}{s}&\cfrac{s^2}{s^2}&\cfrac{s^3}{s^3}&#10;\end{array} \\\\&#10;-----------------------------\\\\&#10;\cfrac{\textit{similar shape}}{\textit{similar shape}}\qquad \cfrac{s}{s}=\cfrac{\sqrt{s^2}}{\sqrt{s^2}}=\cfrac{\sqrt[3]{s^3}}{\sqrt[3]{s^3}}\\\\&#10;-------------------------------\\\\

\bf \cfrac{small}{large}\quad \stackrel{area~ratio}{\cfrac{s^2}{s^2}}\implies \stackrel{area~ratio}{\cfrac{x^2}{(5x)^2}}\implies \stackrel{area~ratio}{\cfrac{x^2}{5^2x^2}}\implies \stackrel{area~ratio}{\cfrac{\underline{x^2}}{25\underline{x^2}}}=\stackrel{area~ratio}{\cfrac{35}{a}}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\cfrac{1}{25}=\cfrac{35}{a}\implies a=\cfrac{25\cdot 35}{1}
