How to solve (-1,8) and (8,-8)

Mathematics
1 answer:
Volgvan3 years ago

Step-by-step explanation:

1. If you are trying to find a linear equation from those two points, use the equation y2-y1 over x2-x1. y2-y1 just means the second point's y coordinate minus the first point's y coordinate (same goes for x2-x1).

2. So if you were to plug the coordinates into the equation, it would be: -8-8 over 8-(-1).

3. Solve to get -16/9 because -8-8=-16 and 8-(-1)=9, so -16/9. -16/9 is the slope of the line in the y=mx +b equation.

4. It would be written like y=-16/9x +b

5. Now we need to find b which is the y-intercept. To find this pick one of the points (we'll just do (-1,8)), and plug in the x and y coordinates and solve for b.

  • 8=-16/9(-1) +b
  • multiply -16/9 by -1 which is 16/9
  • subtract from both sides for it to be 8-16/9 on the left side which is 6 2/9, and that is b

6. The complete equation is now y=-16/9x + 6 2/9

Kevin sold 2 unicycles and 1 bicycle for a total of $110. Greg sold 4 unicycles and 3 bicycles for a total cost of $268. What is
RSB [31]
Simultaneous Equations

2u +   b = $110
4u + 3b = $268

(x2) 4u + 2b = $220
(x1) 4u + 3b = $268

<em />If both the matching coefficients are the same, we subtract equation 2 from equation 1

2b - 3b = -b
$220 - $268 = $-48
-b = -$48
b = $48

If you want to find out what a unicycle costs...
Substitute b = $48 into the first equation
2u + $48 = $110
Balance the equation, whatever happens on one side, happens on the other.
2u + $48 (-$48) = $110 (-$48)
2u = $62
2u(/2) = $62(/2)
u = $31

1) Order the animals by sleep time from least to greatest.
Zolol [24]
The way to line the animals is to put them in order going down. 0.433 56.3% 19/40 65.8%. Then you try to figure out what you need to convert so that you can get your answer. 56.3% changes to 0.563 because you move the decimal two places to the left. 65.8% changes to 0.658 and 19/40 is 0.475. 0.433 0.563 0.475 0.658. Now you compare each row to figure them out. When you do that your answer will be 0.433, 0.475, 0.563, and 0.658. I sleep about 9/24 of the day which is 0.375 and I will fit right befor 0.433.
