To find the slope given two points, you need to subtract the two y values over the two x values
(-5,-3) (9,-6)
-5 will be x1, and -3 will be y1. 9 will be x2, and -6 will be y2. You then need to put the numbers in the correct place in the equation.
y2-y1 -6-(-3) -9
-------- = -------- = ----
x2-x1 9-(-5) 14
Now that we have the slope (-9/14) you can use one of the coordinates to find the value of b.
Let's use (9,-6).
-6=-9/14(9)+b
-6=-81/14+b
+81/14
b=-3/14
Your final equation is y=-9/15x-3/14
Answer:
A) x=4
B) x=35/2
Step-by-step explanation:
calculate the product
A) 5x/2+1=11
multiply both sides of the equation by 2
5x+2=22
move the constant to the right hand side and change its sign
5x+22-2
now subtract the numbers
5x=20
now didvide both sides
5x=20
x=4
B)
calculate the product
2x/7-3=2
multiply both sides of the equation by 7
2x-21=14
move the constant to the right hand side and change its sign
2x=14+21
add the numbers
2x=35
now divide both sides of the equation by 2
x=35/2
Total area = 2,250 ft + 706.50 ft = 2,956.50 ft. pretty sure that’s the answer.
Square b area = 144 ÷ 2
area = 72 in squared
area in feet = 6 ft squared
