First solve for the slope, m using the two points given. It doesn't matter which point you choose as point 1 or 2 as long as you're consistent.
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
point 1: (–6.4, –2.6)
point 2: (5.2, 9)
m = (9 - -2.6)/(5.2 - -6.4)
m = (9 + 2.6)/(5.2 + 6.4)
m = 11.6/11.6
m = 1
put the newly found slope into the linear equation for m
y = (1)x + b
y = x + b
Now solve for the y-intercept, b
by putting one of the given points
9 = 5.2 + b
b = 9 - 5.2
b = 3.8
final equation:
y = x + 3.8
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
- 1/5 of 5x is -1 or just -x and -1/5 of 20 is -4. Then the other one is-1/4 of 4 is -x and -1/4 of -28 is 7. Now combine like terms so -x + -x is -2x and 7+ -4 or 7-4 is 3
Answer:
240 pounds.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that,
Shannon bought 518 pounds of apples.
Bill bought 278 pounds of apples.
We need to find how many more pounds of apples Shannon bought than Bill.
More Apples = Shannon Apples - Bill Apples
= 518 - 278
= 240
Hence, 240 pounds of apples Shannon bought than Bill.
