Ok so the first thing to do would be get rid of the fraction. To do that multiply the ENTIRE equation but the denominator. Once all the numbers are multiplyed I think it’ll be easier for u to solve them :) or if u wanna solve them quick, download Photomath :)
The tiles are identical, so you would need them to fit exactly.
if he uses 144 tiles to cover the floor, the area would be 72/144 = 0.5 square feet
this is just one example
The numbers they are looking for are numbers that are simple but made up. For example, start with 0. Plug 0 in for x, so the corresponding value of y is 10. For a second value, you could do 2. When x=2, y=11, etc. So essentially, put in some simple numbers for x, and solve for y. :)
For this case we have by definition, that the equation of a line in the slope-intersection form is given by:
Where:
m: It's the slope
b: It is the cutoff point with the y axis
We need two points through which the line passes to find the slope:
We found the slope:
So, the equation is of the form:
We substitute a point to find "b":
Finally, the equation is:
Answer:
Option D
