Answer:
y=8x-67
Step-by-step explanation:
So the question is what is the equation for the following two coordinate points?
Well to start off what is the formula? The formula is called the linear equation. Which is y=mx+b. What does these letters or "variables" mean or represent?! Welp, m stands for the slope, which is "Δy over Δx." Some people call say "the change of y over x." I call it the rise over run. So it is saying y over x. The b in the linear equation is the y-intercept. The y-intercept is when the line crosses the y-axis.
With that being said, let's find the slope. But how? Well with the Δy over Δx. The formula is y₂-y₁ over x₂-x₁. With the two coordinate points we can label them.
y₂=5
y₁=(-11)
x₂=9
x₁= 7
Now let set it up into the equation of y over x
Slope = <u> 5- (-11) </u> = <u> 5 + 11 </u> = <u> 16 </u> = 8
9-7 9-7 2
So we now have the slope! Which is 8! So put that into the linear equation!
y=8x+b
Next, we need to find b, the y-intercept! How do we do that well, we can figure it out by one of the coordinate points! Let use the (7, -11) point for example! Remember, x= 7 and y= (-11)
(-11) = 8(7) + b
(-11) = 56 + b
<u>-56 -56</u>
-67 = b
We now have b, which is negative 67! So we need to put all the information we have found into the linear equation!
y=8x-67
Answer:
x = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
A line segment parallel to a side of a triangle and intersecting the other 2 sides divides the 2 sides in proportion, that is
= 
= 
( cross- multiply )
8(3x - 20) = 56
24x - 160 = 56 ( add 160 to both sides )
24x = 216 ( divide both sides by 24 )
x = 9

Hope this helps:-)
Answer:
14 1/30
Step-by-step explanation:
convert the fractions so that the LCF is the denominator
1/5---->6/30
5/6----->25/30
5 6/30+8 25/30
13 31/30
14 1/30
It will take about 16.66 months for the investment to double.
Hope this helps.
