Slope intercept form is y = mx+b, so you can see that you set the equation equal to y. So if the equation is 2y+3x=6, then you solve for y to put it in slope intercept form.
2y + 3x = 6
2y = -3x + 6
y = (-3/2)x + 3
Keep in mind that the term with the x has to be before the constant, so it can't be y = 3 -(3/2)x
And by the way m is the slope and b is y-intercept, so in <span>y = (-3/2)x + 3, -3/2 is slope and (0,3) is y-intercept</span>
Let d represent the distance of the destination from the starting point.
After 45 min, Henry has already driven d-68 miles. After 71 min., he has already driven d-51.5 miles.
So we have 2 points on a straight line:
(45,d-68) and (71,d-51.5). Let's find the slope of the line thru these 2 points:
d-51.5 - (d-68) 16.5 miles
slope of line = m = ----------------------- = ------------------
71 - 45 26 min
Thus, the slope, m, is m = 0.635 miles/min
The distance to his destination would be d - (0.635 miles/min)(79 min), or
d - 50.135 miles. We don't know how far his destination is from his starting point, so represent that by "d."
After 45 minutes: Henry has d - 68 miles to go;
After 71 minutes, he has d - 51.5 miles to go; and
After 79 minutes, he has d - x miles to go. We need to find x.
Actually, much of this is unnecessary. Assuming that Henry's speed is 0.635 miles/ min, and knowing that there are 8 minutes between 71 and 79 minutes, we can figure that the distance traveled during those 8 minutes is
(0.635 miles/min)(8 min) = 5.08 miles. Subtracting thix from 51.5 miles, we conclude that after 79 minutes, Henry has (51.5-5.08), or 46.42, miles left before he reaches his destination.
I think the answer is 43.2 degrees
Answer:
( 1.5, 0)
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Find the coordinates ; in this case (7,-2) and (-4, 2)
2. Plug it into the formula (x1 + x2 ÷ 2 ) , (y1 + y2 ÷ 2)
3. ( 7 + -4 ÷2) = 1.5 And ( -2 + 2 ÷ 2) = 0
4. Therefore, the midpoint is ( 1.5, 0 )
Answer:
8
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's just call the number x for simplicity.
So, 7x is 8 less than x².
Putting this into an equation would look like this
x² - 8 = 7x
It looks like we'll have to factor this to solve. Before we do that we need to move the 7x to the left side so that everything is together.
x² - 7x -8 = 0
Now, we can proceed. To factor we first need to find the factors of -8.
The factors of -8 are
-2 ⋅ 4, -4 ⋅ 2, -1 ⋅ 8, 1 ⋅ -8.
We need to find the pair of factors that adds up to -7. The only ones that do are -1 and 8.
So now that we have these we can create a pair of binomials using them. This will give us the factored form of this equation.
( x + 1 ) ( x - 8 )
To find the solutions we will have to set them to 0 and solve each of these binomials individually.
x - 1 = 0
x = 1
So, one of the solutions is 1. It's not the one we want, since it's positive.
x - 8 = 0
x = 8
This is the one we want since it is positive.
