Assuming you want the equation in slope intercept form, you first need to use slope formula to find the slope.

\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

Plug in the coordinates that you have, (3,-1) and (4,7), for the x and y values respectively.

\frac{-1-7}{3-4}

Which reduces to 8/1=8.

The slope of your equation is 8.

Slope intercept form is: y=mx+b. m is your slope and b is your y-intercept, x and y stay unchanged.

Plug the slope in:

y=8x+b.

Now, you can plug one of the sets of coordinates into the x and y of the equation to find b. I'm using (3,-1).

-1=8(3)+b

-1=24+b

Subtract 24 from both sides.

-25=b

Now plug this into the equation!

y=8x-25 is your final equation.

I hope this helps :)

If Eli showed a 8.9% ROI on his $8000.00 investment, how much was his return on his investment
telo118 [61]
8.9% is equal to 0.089 because a percent is over a 100. So, you can just multiply the ROI by the investment to get:

0.089(8000) = 712

Your answer is: $712.

Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

A) d = 48t, d in miles, t in hours

B)d = 32t, d in miles, t in hours

C)y = 8 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

16 miles in 20 mins = 48 mph

16 miles in 30 mins = 32 mph

The boat speed is the average = (48 + 32)/2 = 40 mph

The current is the difference = 8 mph
