Answer:
y = 2x - 1
Step-by-step explanation:
The given line is y = 2x - 6.
It is in the y = mx + b form, where m is the slope, so its slope is 2.
We need a line that passes through point P(3, 5) and has slope 2.
y = mx + b
Put the slope in m.
y = 2x + b
Use the given point with x = 3 and y = 5 and solve for b.
5 = 2(3) + b
b + 6 = 5
b = -1
The equation is
y = 2x - 1
Answer:
Given
f(x)=18,000(.88)^x
We need to find the value of x when f(x) <2000
2000 = 18000(0.88)^x
0.88^x 2000/18000
0.88^x 1/9
• x = log (1/9) / log (0.88)
• x= 17 (rounded down)
After 17 years or during year 18 the car value will drop below $2000
Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + b ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
(1)
Here m = 6 and b = - 2, then
y = 6x - 2
(2)
The equation of a line in standard form is
Ax + By = C ( A is a positive integer and B, C are integers )
Here m = - 2 and b = 5, then
y = - 2x + 5 ← equation in slope- intercept form
Add 2x to both sides
2x + y = 5 ← equation in standard form
(3)
Calculate the slope m using the slope formula
m = 
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (6, - 13) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 4, - 3)
m =
=
= - 1 , then
y = - x + b ← is the partial equation
To find b substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation
Using (- 4, - 3 ) , then
- 3 = 4 + b ⇒ b = - 3 - 4 = - 7
y = - x - 7 ← equation in slope- intercept form
Add x to both sides
x + y = - 7 ← equation in standard form
