Point-Slope Form! PLEASE need help ASAP! Question is in picture!

Hey there!

To start, the point slope form of an equation is as follows:
y-y1=m(x-x1)

y1= the value of the y value in the pair of coordinates
x1= the value of the x values in the pair of coordinates
m= the slope

Because you appear to already have a set of points to plug in for y1 and x1, all you need now is the slope.

As stated in the question, one of the coordinate points in which the equation passes through is the intersection of the lines 3x-y=3 and x+2y=15. **note: the reason you must find the intersection of the two points is because you need two sets of coordinate points in order to calculate the slope of the line that passes through the points.

To find the intersection of these lines, solve the equations for y and graph the equations:
3x-y=3
-y=-3x+3
y=3x-3

x+2y=15
2y=-x+15
y=-1/2x+15/2
(the graph is in the image below)

The point of intersection would be (3,6)

Now that you have two sets of coordinate points, (3,6) and (2,1), you can plug these values into your slope intercept equation to calculate your slope:
(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
(1-6)/(2-3)
-5/-1
=5

Your slope, or m value would be 5.

Now that you have at least one set of coordinate points and a slope value, you can plug in either set of points and your slope to get either one of the following point slope equations as your answer:
y-1=5(x-2)
or
y-3=5(x-6)

Hope this helps! :)

Jan buys 12 pens for 10$. Each pen costs the same amount of money. Write a proportion to find the number of pens Jan can buy $15
raketka [301]
You can write the proportion as 2 equal fractions or as two equal ratios.
\frac{12}{10} = \frac{x}{15}   or   12 pens:$10 = x pens:$15

You can buy x pens for 15 dollars. One way to find x is by cross multiplying the fractions.

10x=12×15
10x=180
-----  -----
10    10 
x=18

You can buy 18 pens for $15.

Use factoring to solve quadratic equation. Check by substitution or by a graphing utility.
AURORKA [14]
Start by moving all terms to left side of equation 4x^2 - 19x - 30 = 0
Multiply 4 x -30 = -120
Now find two factors of 120 that subtract to give 19... 1 x 120, 2 x 60, 3 x 40, 4 x 30, 5 x 24 ✅
[if it had been +120 we would add the factors looking for 19 which in this case don’t exist]
To get -19 we will need 5 + -24
24 is a multiple of 4 so we can use 4 x -6 and 1 x 5
Giving a factored equation of (4x + 5)(x - 6) = 0 [you should check this by expanding to remove the brackets]

One of the brackets must = zero so the solutions are x = -5/4 or x = 6

Some people look at factors of 4 and -30 and then pair then up to find a sum of -19 but this can take longer to finish.

How to write 1/12 as a decimal with long division?
Leto [7]
To write 1/12 as a decimal you would do 1 divided by 12. 1 goes into 12 0 times, giving you a 0 in the ones place. You would the do 120 divided by 12, giving you 10. Therefore, 1/12 as a decimal is 0.10, simplified to 0.1
