The equation for a line is y=mx+b. where m is the slope and b is the y intercept.
The slope of 17 is provided. This means m=17. The point (0,0) tells you the y intercept is 0. This means b=0
Plugging these into the equation and simplifying:
y=17x+0
y=17x
Hope this helps :)
Step-by-step explanation:
y-y1 = m(x-x1) is the equation for a linear line in y=mx+b (slope intercept)
slope = m = -5/8
x1 = -14
y1 = 6
y-6 = -5/8 (x--14)
y-6 = -5/8 (x+14)
y-6 = -5/8x-70/8
y-48/8= -5/8x-70/8
y = -5/8x - 22/8
When x = 0, y = -22/8, which makes (0, -22/8) your y intercept
Answer:
1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
So you have 12 bags total.
2 are 1/6 so their total weight is 1/3
2 are 1/3 so their total weight is 2/3
3 are 1/2 so their total weight is 3/2
4 are 2/3 so their total weight is 8/3
1 is 5/6 so their total weight is 5/6
Now add all of these up:
1/3 + 2/3 + 3/2 + 8/3 + 5/6 = 36/6 = 6
Then divide by the number of bags to get the average weight: 6/12 = 1/2
