Answer:

y = 2x

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula is y = mx + b

m is slope

slope = (4 - -2) / (2 - -1) = 6 / 3 = 2

Now equation is y = 2x + b

To find b, substitute one of the coordinates in the equation. Let's use (2,4)

y = 2x + b

4 = 2(2) + b

b = 0

So equation is y = 2x

Can you make the area of your shape go up but the perimeter go down?

Virty [35]

Yes,you can.

-- If it's a rectangle, make it more square ... make the length and width
more nearly equal.

-- No matter what shape it is, make it more like a circle. The circle
has the most possible area inside the smallest possible perimeter.

Find the ratio a:c if a:b = 1:2, b:d = 4:5, d:c = 3:1

Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

a : c = 6 : 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Expressing the ratios in fractional form, then

$\frac{a}{c}$ = $\frac{a}{b}$ × $\frac{b}{d}$ × $\frac{d}{c}$ = $\frac{1}{2}$ × $\frac{4}{5}$ × $\frac{3}{1}$ = $\frac{12}{10}$ = $\frac{6}{5}$

Thus a : c = 6 : 5

The drama club sold $779 worth of tickets to the school play. Student tickets cost $3 a piece and tickets for everyone else cost

svetlana [45]

Answer:

The equation will be: $3s+5t=779$

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of student tickets that were sold $=s$

and the number of other tickets that were sold $=t$

Student tickets cost $3 a piece and tickets for everyone else cost $5 each.

So, the total cost of $s$ student tickets $=\$3s$ and the total cost of $t$ other tickets $=\$5t$

Given that, the drama club sold total $779 worth of tickets.

So, the equation will be: $3s+5t=779$
