Answer:

y - 7 = 3(x + 3)  and  y = 3x + 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the slope first:

As we go from (–3, 7) to (1, –5), x increases by 4 and y increases by 12.  Hence, the slope is m = rise / run = 12 / 4, or m = 3.

Next, modify the point-slope form y - k = m(x - h) by inserting the given info:

                                                        y - 7 = 3(x -[-3]), or

                                                         y - 7 = 3(x + 3)

Note:  (h, k) represents the given point, which I have chosen to be (-3, 7).

Next, convert this result to slope-intercept form.  Begin by solving this equation for y:  y = 7 = 3x + 9, or:

y = 3x + 16

Assign a variable to each quantity and write each statement as an inequality. Then give an example
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

1.

Variable: x

Inequality: x ≤ 12

Value that matches: 12

2.

Variable: y

Inequality: y < 66

Value that matches: 60

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving (1):

Let x be the variable

Reading through the question, we have the inequality to be represented by "at most".

At most is used for less than or equal to.

Hence, the expression can be represented by:

x ≤ 12

The range of this inequality is limited to all natural number that do not exceed 12.

Examples are 8, 2, 11, 12

Solving (2):

Let the variable be y

Reading through the question, we have the inequality to be represented by "below".

Below means less than

Hence, the expression can be represented by:

y < 66

The range of this inequality is limited to all number less than 66.

Examples are 65, 1 , 60......

An artist wants to frame a square painting with an area of 400 square inches . she wants
Artemon [7]
(a) x^{2} = 400
(b) \sqrt{x^2} = \sqrt{400}
x=20,-20
(c) Only the positive solution makes sense because you cannot have a negative side length.
(d) Since one side of the painting is 20 inches, all four sides together will be 20*4 = 80 inches
