Line AB passes through points A(–6, 6) and B(12, 3). If the equation of the line is written in slope-intercept form, y = mx + b,

then m = – and b = .

The formula of a slope:

m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

We have the points A(-6, 6) and B(12, 3). Substitute:

m=\dfrac{3-6}{12-(-6)}=\dfrac{-3}{18}=-\dfrac{3:3}{18:3}=-\dfrac{1}{6}

Therefore we have y=-\dfrac{1}{6}x+b.

Put the coordinates of the point B to the equation:

3=-\dfrac{1}{6}(12)+b

3=-2+b          <em>add 2 to both sides</em>

5=b\to b=5

Answer:

m=-\dfrac{1}{6}\\\\b=5

No idea how to do this equation. Its applying system's of linear equations.
icang [17]
What you want to do is take one of the 2 equations and isolate one variable. you will then use the value that you find for the variable and plug it back into the other equation. here is how:

This would be easiest to do with the second equation in the set since the x is not being multiplied by anything. So lets isolate the x in the second equation.

add 0.9y to both sides and you get:

x=4.5+0.9y

we now know what x is equal to in terms of y. so lets replace the x in the first equation with the new value. You get:

1.5(4.5+0.9y)-1.9y=-29

Now just solve for y:
6.75+1.35y-1.9y=-29
1.35y-1.9y=-35.75
-0.55y=-35.75
y=65

so now you know that y=65 so plug 65 in as y in the second equation to find x

x-0.9*65=4.5

Now simply solve for x

x-(-58.5)=4.5
x+58.5=4.5
x=-54

Hope this helped! :)

Jennifer is making a cold cut platter using turkey and ham for an event that she is catering. She uses 90 slices of meat. If 63
statuscvo [17]

Answer:


27 slices of ham which is about 30% of the meat.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem we have given

no. of slices of meat=90

no of slices of turkey's meat=63

Percent of ham in platter=?

No of ham slices= Total slices -turkey slices

=90 - 63

= 27 slices

therefore no of ham slices=27

percent of ham slices=Ham slicesx100/total slices

=27x100/90%

=30%

Therefore  percent of ham's in patter=30%
