Write the slope-intercept form of the equation of each line.
1 answer:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope-intercept form is y = mx + b.
You are given 8x + 3y = -9, so to convert this into slope-intercept form you would solve for y and rearrange the terms (if needed) to follow the format of mx + b.
Start by subtracting 8x from both sides of the equation.
3y = -9 - 8x
Divide both sides by 3 to isolate y.
y = -3 - 8/3x
Rearrange the terms so the "x" variable is first.
y = -8/3x - 3

I've attached an image showing the coordinates of Ship A and Ship B.
Answer:
distressed vessel is located at (1, 1.5)
Step-by-step explanation:
From the image attached, we can see that;
Coordinate of ship A is (3, 4)
Coordinate of ship B is (1, 1)
Now, we are told that Ship A receives a distress signal from the southwest, and ship B receives a distress from the same vessel from the north.
This means that the distressed ship is somewhere in between ship A & B.
To solve this, we will extend the arrow line from Ship A in that same SW direction and we will do the same for ship B in the same North direction. Their point of intersection is where the distressed ship is located.
Now, if we do that, we will see that they will intersect at the point; (1, 1.5)
Thus,distressed vessel is located at (1, 1.5)
