The equation of the line in slope-intercept form is:

y = mx + b

Where,

m: slope of the line

b: cutting point with the y axis.

For the slope of the line we have:

m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}

Substituting values we have:

m=\frac{-4-8}{-6-4}

Rewriting we have:

m=\frac{-12}{-10}

m=\frac{6}{5}

Then, we choose an ordered pair:

(xo, yo) = (4, 8)

Substituting values in the generic equation of the line we have:

y-yo = m (x-xo)

y-8 = \frac{6}{5} (x-4)

Rewriting we have:

y = \frac{6}{5}x -\frac{24}{5} + 8

y = \frac{6}{5}x -\frac{24}{5} + \frac{40}{5}

y = \frac{6}{5}x + \frac{16}{5}

Answer:

The equation of the line in slope-intercept form is:

y = \frac{6}{5}x + \frac{16}{5}

Answer:

y = \frac{6}{5} x + \frac{16}{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form is y = mx + b, where "m" is the slope and 'b" is the y-intercept.

Given: G(-6, -4) and E(4, 8)

Now we can use these points G(-6, -4) and E(4, 8) and find the slope.

Slope (m) = \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}

Here x1 = -6, y1 = -4, x2 = 4 and y2 = 8

Plug in these values in the above formula, we get

slope(m) = \frac{8 - (-4)}{4 -(-6)}

= \frac{12}{10}

Slope (m) = \frac{6}{5}

Now we can use the formula (y - y1) = m(x - x1) and find the required equation.

We can plug in m value and (x1, y1) value and find the equation.

y - (-4) = 6/5(x - (-6))

y + 4  = 6/5(x + 6)

Using the distributive property a(b + c) = ab + ac, we get

y + 4 = 6/5 x + 36/5

y = 6/5 x + 36/5 - 4

y =6/5 x +(\frac{(36 - 20)}{5}

y = \frac{6}{5} x + \frac{16}{5}

A+b= -10 <br> 2a+b=-33 <br> what is the value of b in the system of equations shown above
attashe74 [19]
Simplest method: elimination.
Subtract the first equation from the second one.

(2a+b=-33)-(a+b=-10) gets you to a=-23.

Now plug that in for a and solve.

-23 +b=-10

b=13

Harriet is cultivating a strain of bacteria in a petri dish. Currently, she has 103 bacteria in the dish. The bacteria divide ev
SVEN [57.7K]
Based on the conditions given above, the number of bacteria at any time t (in hours) is calculated by the equation,
                                         at = (a1)(2^t/2)

where a1 is the initial number of bacteria and at is the number at any time t. Substituting the givens,
                                      a6 = (103)(2^6/2) = 824 

Thus, there are 824 bacteria after 6 hours.

Sorry I need it asap in I will give 5 stars to all the answers
Fantom [35]

Answer:

A. the equality means that the two equations should be equal in a certain x value. Solving the x for these equation gives you the x point where the 2 equations intersect.

B. The x value where the funcionts intersect is x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

You can solve the x value using natural logarithms.

If you make a table for the two functions you will also see the result:

Value             y = 8^x            y = 2^(x+2)

Find AM, if AM = 6y-4 and MC = 2y+12.
aleksley [76]

Answer: 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Line l is a segment bisector, we know that AM and MC are equal to each other.

6y-4=2y+12        [subtract both sides by 2y]

4y-4=12              [add both sides by 4]

4y=16                 [divide both sides by 4]

y=4

Now that we have y, we plug that into AM.

6(4)-4                 [multiply]

24-4                   [subtract]

20

Now, we know that AM is 20.

sergey [27]

Answer:

X=5

Step-by-step explanation:

102=18x, then divide both sides by 18 which gives you 5.666667 but you cant buy half a ball they can only afford 5 balls with $12 left over.
