Slope-intercept form: y = mx + b (m is the slope, b is the y-intercept or the y value when x = 0 -- > (0 , y))

To find the slope (m), you use the slope formula and plug in 2 points.

m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

(x₁ , y₁) = (1 , 20)

(x₂, y₂) = (5 , 10)

m=\frac{10-20}{5-1}=\frac{-10}{4}=-\frac{5}{2}

y=-\frac{5}{2}x+b    To find b, plug in a point into the equation (1,20)

20=-\frac{5}{2}(1)+b    Add 5/2 on both sides

20+\frac{5}{2}=b

\frac{40}{2}+\frac{5}{2}=b

22.5 = b

y=-\frac{5}{2}x+22.5

Your y-intercept is (0, 22.5) or (0, 45/2)

The x-intercept is the x value when y = 0 ---> (x, 0)

To find the x-intercept, set y = 0 in the equation

0 = -5/2x + 22.5

-22.5 = -5/2x     Multiply -2/5 on both sides to get x by itself

9 = x

Your x-intercept is (9, 0)

Please help im stuck on this question​
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope is the first y - the second y divided by the first x- the second x. Therefore we take -8-4= -12 and -7-0= -7. Using the formula, we get -12/-7. The negatives cancel out and we get 12/7 which is A.

The length of a rectangle is three more than twice the width. The perimeter is 96. What are the dimensions? ​
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

Width =15

Length =33

Step-by-step explanation:

Take width as x

And length as 2x+3

Perimeter as 96

Formula of the perimeter of a rectangle is 2l+2w

X+×+2×+3+2×+3=96

6x+6=96

6x=96-6

6×=90

X=15

Width =x and x =15 so width =15 while length =33

Solve the right triangle <br>round your answer to the nearest tenth.​
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

Use SOH-CAH-TOA method and figure out which sign you need. SOH- Sin, CAH- Cos, TOA- Tan.

Also,

SOH- opposite/hypotenuse

CAH- adjacent/hypotenuse

TOA- opposite/adjacent

Look at the angle and see which terms you have already. For example, if you had opposite the angle and the adjacent side, you would choose tangent because its TOA. Hope that helps!
