Point-slope form is just one of many ways of describing a line which states that, given the slope of a line and a point on that line, you have enough information to completely describe that line.

A line is defined by some constant rate of change - its slope. If m is the slope of a line, then we can define m as

m = \frac{y-y_1}{x-x_1}

Where (x_1,y_1) is some fixed point and (x,y) is some other point on the line that we can vary. Here, we know that m = 4, and we're given a fixed point of (-1,3) to work with, so we have

4= \frac{y-3}{x-(-1)}= \frac{y-3}{x+1}

Multiplying both sides by x+1, we get the equation in point-slope form:

4(x+1)=y-3\\ y-3=4(x+1)

To put the equation in slope-intercept form, we need to find the point where the line hits the y-axis. To do this, we can simply set x = 0:

y-3=4(0+1)\\ y-3=4\\ y=7

So, the line hits the y-axis at (0,7). Given our slope is 4, and given the general slope-intercept form of a line,

y=mx+b

Where m is our slope and b is our y-intercept, the slope-intercept form for our line would be

y=4x+7

Line L's slope intercept form is

y = 4x + 7

It's point slope form is

y - 3 = 4 (x - -1)

You can check the point slope form and match it with the slope intercept form:

y - 3 = 4 (x - -1)

y - 3 = 4x + 4

y = 4x + 7

y = 4x + 7  = y = 4x + 7

A ball is drawn at random from a box containing 12 red,18
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

<u>Answer:</u>

<u>For a:</u> The probability of getting a red or blue ball is 0.48

<u>For b:</u> The probability of getting a white, blue or orange ball is 0.81

<u>For c:</u> The probability of getting neither white or orange ball is 0.48

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Probability is defined as the extent to which an event is likely to occurs. It is measured by the ratio of the favorable outcomes to the total number of possible outcomes.

\text{Probability}=\frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of favorable outcomes}}     .......(1)

We are given:

Number of red balls in a box = 12

Number of white balls in a box = 18

Number of blue balls in a box = 19

Number of orange balls in a box = 15

Total balls in a box = [12 + 18 + 19 + 15] = 64

  • <u>For a:</u>

Number of favorable outcomes (ball must be red or blue) = [12 + 19] = 31

Total number of outcomes = 64

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Probability of getting a red or blue ball}=\frac{31}{64}=0.48

  • <u>For b:</u>

Number of favorable outcomes (ball must be white or blue or orange) = [18 + 19 + 15] = 52

Total number of outcomes = 64

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Probability of getting a white or blue or orange ball}=\frac{52}{64}=0.81

  • <u>For c:</u>

Number of favorable outcomes (ball must be white or orange) = [18 + 15] = 33

Total number of outcomes = 64

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Probability of getting a white or orange ball}=\frac{33}{64}=0.52

Probability of getting a ball which is neither white or orange = [1 - (Probability of getting a white or orange ball)] = [1 - 0.52] = 0.48

X^2-7x=18<br><br> solve for x <br> please show work
zloy xaker [14]
So the answer is, x1=-2, x2=9
x^2-7x=18
x^2-7x-18=0
x^2+2x-9x-18=0
x*(x+2)-9(x+2)=0
(x+2)*(x-9)=o
x+2=0
x-9=0
X=-2
X=9
I hope u understand!

Butoxors [25]

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2 represents every fraction, where the denominator (bottom part) is twice the numerator (top part).

like 4/8 or 6/12 or 128/256 or ...

what do we need in the denominator to calculate with 15/16 ?

the same : 16.

and what is half of 16 ? 8.

so, we need the 1/2 based on 16th = 8/16.

so, the dog ate 8/16 (1/2) of the original 15/16.

what was left was

15/16 - 8/16 = 7/16 pound

It will take Adam four hours to drive to Disney Park, and 2.5 times less time if driving 45 mph faster. What is the distance Ada
Travka [436]

Answer:

120 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The speed is equal to the distance divided by the time

Let

s------> the speed in mph

d-----> the distance in miles

t -----> the time in hours

s=d/t

solve for the distance

d=s*t

<em>It will take Adam four hours to drive to Disney Park</em>

s=x mph

t=4 h

substitute

d=4x -----> equation A

<em>It will take Adam 2.5 times less time if driving 45 mph faster</em>

so

s=(x+45) mph

t=4/2.5=1.6 h

substitute

d=1.6(x+45) -----> equation B

equate equation A and equation B

4x=1.6(x+45)

Solve for x

4x=1.6x+72

4x-1.6x=72

2.4x=72

x=30 mph

Find the distance d

d=4x -----> d=4(30)=120 miles
