So we need to find the two lines...y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

m=(dy/dx)=(7-6)/(3-1)=1/2 so

y=x/2+b, now I'll use (1,6) to solve for b

6=1/2+b, b=5 1/2=11/2 so

y1=(x+11)/2

now the other line...

m=(8-6)/(5-3)=2/2=1

y2=x+b, using point (3,6) we solve for b

6=3+b, b=3 so

y2=x+3

Since this is just two lines they will only intersect at a single point and when they do, y=y so we can say:

x+3=(x+11)/2

2x+6=x+11

x+6=11

x=5, now use either line to solve for the corresponding y value...

y2=x+3 becomes y=5+3=8 so the solution to this system is the point:

(5,8)

Answer:

(5, 8)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, the linear equation defined by (x_1, y_1) and (x_2, y_2) is,

y-y_1=\frac{x_2-x_1}{y_2-y_1}(x-x_1)

Thus, the linear equation defined by points (1, 6) and (3, 7) is,

y-6=\frac{7-6}{3-1}(x-1)

y-6=\frac{1}{2}(x-1)

2y-12=x-1

\implies x-2y=-11-----(1)

Similarly, the linear equation is defined by points (3, 6) and (5, 8),

y-6=\frac{8-6}{5-3}(x-3)

y-6=\frac{2}{2}(x-3)

y-6=x-3

\implies x-y=-3------(2)

Equation (1) -  equation (2),

-y = -8

⇒ y = 8

From equation (1),

x-2(8)=-11

x-16=-11

x = - 11 + 16 = 5

Hence, point (5,8) represents the solution of this system of equations.

A parent increases a child’s monthly allowance by 20% each year. If the allowance is $8 per month now, in about how many years w
Mazyrski [523]

6 years

A parent increases a child’s monthly allowance by 20% each year. If the allowance is $8 per month now. This is an exponential function, An exponential function is given by:

Let x be the number of years and y be the allowance. The initial allowance is $8, this means at x = 0, y = 8

Since it increases by 20% each year, i.e 100% + 20% = 1 + 0.2 = 1.2. This means that b = 1.2
Therefore:

To find the number of years will it take to reach $20 per month, we substitute y = 20 and find x

x = 6 years to the nearest year

Answer:

45

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is in vertex form a(x-p)^2 + q, ergo giving us the highest point of the parabola, so q (in this case 45 is the highest point in meters, where p multiplied by (-1) is the time taken to reach that height
