The length of tom's block on his map is 11.25 inches
To find the equation of a line knowing two points it passes through, we must first find the slope and then substitute the x and y values to figure out the y intercept.
First thing is to find the slope using the formula m = Δy ÷ Δx
m = 5 - (-2) ÷ 4 - (-5)
Now we simplify
m = 7 ÷ 9
Our equation so far is y = 7/9x + b. Now we can substitute the values of x and y from a point to figure out the answer. The equation here uses the point (4,5)
5 = 7/9 · 4 + b
Get b on one side
5 - 28/9 = b
Simplify
b = 1 + 8/9
That makes the equation of the line y = 7/9x + (1 + 8/9)
Answer:
(a): 26.1
(b): 27.9
Please see below for the steps.
Step-by-step explanation:
(a):
Use points (0,0) and (3, 78.3)
Use slope formula. The slope formula is also used to find average rate of change (just so you know).
y2-y1/x2-x1
78.3-0/3-0=78.3/3=26.1
Answer for (a) is 26.1
(b):
Use points (4, 147.6) and (9, 287.1)
Use slope formula.
y2-y1/x2-x1
287.1-147.6/9-4=139.5/5=27.9
The answer for (b) is 27.9
Hope this helps!
