solve for "y" so it is in the form y = mx + b. "m" is the slope and "b" is the y-intercept.
ax + by = c
by = -ax + c <em>subtracted "ax" from both sides</em>
y = (-a/b)x + c/b <em>divided both sides by "b"</em>
Answer: slope is -a/b and y-intercept is c/b
Step-by-step explanation:
By Pythagoras' theorem,
12^2 = 11^2 + height^2
height = ±√12^2 - 11^2 (rej -ve value since height > 0)
height = 16.279 (5sf) = 16.3 (nearest tenth place)

Given:
1 set requires 4 couples 8 dancers.
Total number of people at a square dance = 250.
To find:
The greatest number of sets possible at the dance.
Solution:
We have,
Total people = 250
1 set = 8 people.



Number of possible sets cannot be a decimal or fraction value. So, approx. the value to the preceding integer.

Therefore, the number of possible sets at the dance is 31.
