How do you write and equation of a linear function using two points

Mathematics

Margaret [11]3 years ago

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the difference between the 2 points.

For example, (8, 9) (5, 3).

Compare the difference between the x's, in this case 8 and 5. The difference is 3. Do the same with the y's, 9 and 3. The difference is 6.

To find the slope, it's y/x. The slope in this situation is 6/3. Simplify. The slope is 2.

To find the y-intercept, insert the slope and one of the 2 points in the beginning into y = mx + b & solve for b.

For example, if we use the ordered pair (5, 3) the equation would look like:

3 = 2(5) + b, Solve for b.

Multiply. 3 = 10 + b

Get b by itself by adding - 10 to both sides.

-7 = b

The y-intercept is -7. So, in this case, the equation is y = 2x - 7.

What is the value of y?<br><br> Enter your answer in the box.
Dennis_Churaev [7]
You must know that the sum of interior angles is 180°. We also know that AC and BA are congruent which means angles B and C are also congruent. To find x we can assume 25=5x. Which makes x=5, and angle C=25°.

Then we can add all the angles to find y and A. 25+25+(3y+70)=180. Then solve for y and then solve for angle A.

son4ous [18]

Answer:

16 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up a proportion where x is the height of the tree:

\frac{4}{5} = \frac{x}{20}

Cross multiply and solve for x:

5x = 80

x = 16

So, the tree is 16 feet tall
