What is tje equation for the linear function whose graph contains the points (2,5) and (3,0) ?

1 answer:

4 0

In order to find a slope, there is an equation:

Y2-Y1/X2-X1

X1=2
X2=3
Y1=5
Y2=0

0-5= -5
3-2=1

Since slope is written as Y/X, slope would be-5/1 or simply, -5.

Now, we need to find the y-intercept.

To do this, shift the original equation:

Original equation: y=-5x+b

Shifted equation: b=y+5x

Now, plug in one of the points.

Let's use (2,5)

b=5+5(2)

5*2=10
10+5=15

y-intercept=15

So, the full equation of the line would be:

y=-5x+15

Sage is making roasted potatoes for a benefit dinner. The committee gives her money to buy 10 bags of potatoes. Write an equation to help Sage determine how many servings of potatoes she can prepare.
Let's let
n = number of servings

p = grams of potatoes per serving

c = grams of potatoes in each bag

As we can see we should let n = the number of servings be first.

Then we use ten and put it with the grams of potatoes per servings.

So

$n = \frac{10c}{p}$

Hope I helped!

AB = 4.5

Step-by-step explanation:

We can cross multiply the sides in order to find the length of AB. Make sure you don't go diagonal, so you can't do 3/6. You can do 3/4 and 3/x, then match it to the same pattern.

This is the one I chose...

$\frac{4}{3} =\frac{6}{x}$
