Line JK passes through points J(–4, –5) and K(–6, 3). If the equation of the line is written in slope-intercept form, y = mx + b

, what is the value of b?

The value of "b" is the y-intercept.

In order to figure out slope-intercept form you need 1 coordinate and the slope.
1) Find the slope, using the 2-point slope formula: "m= y2-y1 / x2-x1".
   ex. m= -5 - 3 / -4 - -6   (simplify)--->   m= -4

2) Fill in the blanks for point-slope formula: "y - y1 = m (x - x1)"
(choose one coordinate, it doesn't matter which one)
   ex. y - -5 = -4 (x - -4)

3) Then use basic algebra to simplify.

What is the constant of variation for the quadratic variation? x 2 3 4 5 6 y 32 72 128 200 288
cluponka [151]
We use different models for different types of variation. For example, linear variation is associated with the formula y=ax, or the more familiar y=mx+b (the equation of a straight line). Cubic variation: y=a*x^3. In the present case we're discussing quadratic variation; perhaps that will ring a bell with you, reminding you that y=ax^2+bx+c is the general quadratic function. Now in y our math problem, we're told that this is a case of quadratic variation. Use the model y=a*x^2. For example, we know that if x=2, y =32. Mind substituting those two values into y=a*x^2 and solving for y? Then you could re-write y=a*x^2 substituting this value for a. Then check thisd value by substituting x=3, y=72, and see whether the resulting equation is true or not. If it is, your a value is correct. But overall I got 16!
