Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1) First, find the slope of the equation. Use the slope formula
. Substitute the x and y values of the given points into the formula and solve:

Thus, the slope is
.
2) Now, use the point-slope formula
to write the equation in point-slope form (from there we can convert it to slope-intercept). Substitute values for
,
, and
.
Since
represents the slope, substitute
for it. Since
and
represent the x and y values of one point the line intersects, choose any of the given points (it doesn't matter which one, the end result will be the same) and substitute its x and y values into the formula as well. (I chose (4,1), as seen below.) Then, isolate y to put the equation in slope-intercept form and find the answer.

First of all, remember what the equation of a line is:

Where:
m=slope
b=y-intercept.
Given this information, we can start by plugging in what we know, we are given the slope which is 2 so we can fill that in, remember m=slope

To find b, think about what your (x,y) point means:<span>(14,3). When x of the line is 14, y of the line must be 3.
Because we were given the point (14,3)
</span>
We need to find the value of b. The 2 is already set and x and y are variables. We want the equation for the line that specifically passes through the given point (14,3).
<span>Plug in for x the number 14 and for y the number 3:
</span>(14,3).
y=mx+b or 3=2 × 14+b,
solving for b: b=3-(2)(14). b=-25.
<span>Plug that in for b:
</span><span>y=2x-25
<span>Final answer:
</span><span>y=2x-25</span></span><span><span>
</span></span>
they're both decimals the only difference is that one of them has a zero in front of the ddecimal
Answer:
-17/10 ( or 1 7/10)
Step-by-step explanation:
-2 1/8 ÷ 1 1/4 (convert into improper fractions)
= (-17/8) ÷ (5/4)
= (-17/8) x (4/5)
= - (17 x 4) / (8 x 5)
= -68/40
= -17/10 ( or 1 7/10)
So it grew 60 CM since when he bought it , now 60/2.5 to get the number of days
