Slope-intercept form: y = mx + b

m = slope

b = y-intercept

We need to find the y-intercept.

2 = 3(4) + b

2 = 12 + b

2 - 12 = 12 + b - 12

-10 = b

Now, fill in the equation.

y = 3x - 10

Hope This Helped! Good Luck!

Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

3 1/2 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start by figuring out how much sugar Karen needs in total.

She needs (1+1/3) cups for her original recipe. To triple that, we need (1+1/3) 3 times. We can calculate this by multiplying it by 3.

(1+1/3) * 3 = 3 + 1 = 4

Karen needs 4 cups in total. She has 1/2 cup. The difference is how much more she needs. Therefore, she needs 4 - 1/2 = 3 1/2 cups

It would be a. 8/9 because for every 8/9 boy, there is 1 girl. To check this work, you can do 8/9 x 18 which equals 16.

Helppop!!A car and van are driving on a highway. The table shows the amount y (in gallons) of gas in the cars gas tank after dri

Korvikt [17]

Answer:

The car uses less gas

They use the same amount of gas after $\frac{640}{7}$ miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The table represents the car mileage

$y = -\frac{1}{5}x + 31$ --- The van

First, calculate the car's slope (m)

$m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

From the table, we have:

$(x_1,y_1) = (60,13.5);\ \ (x_2,y_2) = (180,10.5)$

So, we have:

$m = \frac{10.5 - 13.5}{180 - 60}$

$m = \frac{-3}{120}$

$m = -\frac{1}{40}$

Calculate the equation using:

$y = -\frac{1}{40}(x - 60)+13.5$

$y = -\frac{1}{40}x + 1.5+13.5$

$y = -\frac{1}{40}x + 15$

$m = -\frac{1}{40}$ implies that for every mile traveled, the car uses 1/40 gallon of gas

Also:

$y = -\frac{1}{5}x + 31$ --- The van

By comparison to: $y = mx + b$

$m = -\frac{1}{5}$

This implies that for every mile traveled, the van uses 1/5 gallon of gas.

By comparison:

$1/40 < 1/5$

This means that the car uses less gas

Solving (b): Distance traveled for them to use the same amount of gas.

We have:

$y = -\frac{1}{5}x + 31$ --- The van

$y = -\frac{1}{40}x + 15$ --- The car

Equate both

$-\frac{1}{5}x + 31 =-\frac{1}{40}x + 15$

Collect like terms

$\frac{1}{40}x -\frac{1}{5}x =-31 + 15$

$\frac{1}{40}x -\frac{1}{5}x =-16$

Take LCM

$\frac{x - 8x}{40} = -16$

$\frac{- 7x}{40} = -16$

Solve for -7x

$-7x = -640$

Solve for x

$x = \frac{640}{7}$
