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

Mathematics
1 answer:
Margaret [11]3 years ago
8 0

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.

Mars is extremely far from the Earth. Scientists estimate that it could take astronauts 245​​​​​​​ days to travel from Earth to
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We would liken the given scenario to distance speed and time relationship. The formula for determining average speed is

Total Distance/ total time

Since the distance between Earth and Mars is 108 million miles(108 × 10^6) the trip takes 245 days, then on average, the number of miles that the astronauts would travel each day would be

108 × 10^6/245 = 440816 miles per day

Writing in powers of 10, it becomes 4.4 × 10^5 miles per day

Rounding to the nearest whole number, it becomes 4 × 10^5 miles per day

Can someone help me solve this step by step?

Answer:

41 and 77

Step-by-step explanation:

x: his age the first time he went to space

y: his age the second time he went to space

the second time he went to space he was 5 years younger than twice the age when he went his first time, then:

y = 2x - 5

the sum of both ages is 118, then:

x + y = 118

If you replace y = 2x - 5 in x + y =118:

x + 2x - 5 = 118

3x = 123

x = 41

replacing x:

41 + y = 118

y = 118 - 41

y = 77

so when he was 77, he was 5 years younger than twice 41 ( 41*2 = 82 => 82 - 5 =77)
