let the two numbers be x and y

From the first sentence,

xy=24

x+y=10

Then make y in equation 2 the subject of the formular and substitute in equation 1

x+y=10

y=10-x

substituting in equation 2

x(10-x)=24

open the bracket

10x-x^2=24

=-x^2+10x=24

Transfer the constant to the left hand side

=-x^2+10x-24=0

Then factorise completely

PAST DUE DATE NEED DONE NOW! NO LINKS! HELP ME FIND THE EQUATION
Soloha48 [4]

To write an equation for this line, you first need to understand how to derive it.

Let's utilize slope-intercept form, as it's the easiest to understand compared to any other form for line functions:

y = mx + b

m: The slope of the line

b: The y-intercept (The point where the line is at the y-axis)

Now that we've defined our variables, how do we go about making the actual equation? Let's start off with the slope, m.

The slope is a measure of how high or low the line is. The number is a ratio between the rise and run of a slope. In other words, it is essentially \frac{rise}{run}

Let's look back at the graph. In the time interval from 1 to 2 seconds, we see that the line rises by 22 feet. Because the time interval is only 1 second, the run is 1 second.

Therefore:

m = \frac{rise}{run}

m = \frac{22}{1}

m = 22

We now have the first variable of the equation.

y = 22x + b

What about b? As we established earlier, b is the value of coordinate y at the y-intercept. Essentially, to find b we need to know what the value of y is when the coordinate x is 0.

As you can see from the graph you made, the value of y when x is 0 is also 0. This makes sense, too. How can the cheetah travel distance at 0 seconds when it obviously hasn't started moving? We now know b = 0. Now, we have gotten all of the variables we need to make a full equation:

y = 22x + 0

y = 22x

If you'd like me to explain how I did anything, just ask!
