First, we have two points and we need to use these points to find the slope. To do this, let's label one point x1 and y1, the other point x2 and y2 then,
Slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
(2, 3) - 2 is x1 and 3 is y1
(-1, -12) -1 is x2 and -12 is y2
Slope = (-12 - 3) / ( -1 - 2) = -15 / -3 = 5
Now the equation of our line is: y = 5x + b
Let's plug one of our points into this equation to solve for b.
3 = 5(2) + b
3 = 10 + b
Subtract 10 from both sides.
-7 = b
The equation of our line is: y = 5x - 7
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Given equations:</u>
<u>Add together:</u>
- -8x + 8y + 3x - 8y = 8 - 18
- - 5x = - 10
Correct option is D
Answer:the maximum number of ccf Jake can use if he wants his bill to be no more than $58.00 is $15.3
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of ccf of water that Jake uses in a month.
Jake's water bill is $24.40 per month plus $2.20 per ccf (hundred cubic feet) of water. This means that if she uses x ccf of water in a month, her total water bill would be
24.40 + 2.2x
Therefore, the maximum number of ccf Jake can use if he wants his bill to be no more than $58.00 would be
24.40 + 2.2x ≤ 58
2.2x ≤ 58 - 24.4
2.2x ≤ 33.6
x ≤ 33.6/2.2
x ≤ 15.3
