Plug in the corresponding values into y = mx + b
8.18 in for y
1.31 in for m
17.2 in for b
8.18 = 1.31x + 17.2
Now bring 17.2 to the left side by subtracting 17.2 to both sides (what you do on one side you must do to the other). Since 17.2 is being added on the right side, subtraction (the opposite of addition) will cancel it out (make it zero) from the right side and bring it over to the left side.
8.18 - 17.2 = 1.31x
-9.02 = 1.31x
Then divide 1.31 to both sides to isolate x. Since 1.31 is being multiplied by x, division (the opposite of multiplication) will cancel 1.31 out (in this case it will make 1.31 one) from the right side and bring it over to the left side.
-9.02/1.31 = 1.31x/1.31
x ≈ -6.8855
x is roughly -6.89
Hope this helped!

Radiation is a type of heat transfer wherein there is no need for medium or media through which the heat will flow. Consequently, the radiation waves are able to travel through vacuum. The best observation as evidence to conclude that heat is indeed transferred by radiation is the increase of temperature of the receiving body.
Hello there,
It takes 300 newtons of force and a distance of 20 meters for a moving cart to come to a stop. How much kinetic energy did this cart have?
Answer: 6000
The difference between speed and velocity is that the speed is a scalar quantity which means that you can say that this object has a speed of x m/s but you don't have to define its direction
while the velocity is a vector quantity which means that you have to express the velocity by which it moves in x,y and z directions and its norm is the speed
The correct answer as the first one above !
