Subtract 18 from 72 to get Michelle's current age.
72 - 18 = 54
Slope intercept form is y = mx + b.
Y = coordinate y.
M = Slope
X = coordinate x.
B = y-intercept.
Slope formula: (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)
Plug in: (-1 - 7) / (4 - 2) = -4.
We can just insert the pair (2,7) as our x and y to solve b.
7 = -4(2) + b.
Solve for b.
7 = -8 + b.
-b = -8 -7
-b = -15
b = 15.
Original equation:
y = mx + b
y = -4x + 15
First step is parentheses so subtract 1/4 from 1
(1-1/4) = (4/4 - 1/4) = (3/4)
After parentheses we perform exponent operations
(3/4)^2 = (3^2/4^2) = (9/16)
Finally, after exponent operations we perform multiplications
(1/3)*(9/16) = (3/16)
Answer:
b) 2x + y = -4
Step-by-step explanation:
To go from the Point-Slope Formula [y - y₁ = m(x - x)₁] to the Slope-Intercept Formula [y = mx + b], move -1 to the RIGHT side of the equivalence symbol to get this: y = -2x - 4. Although this is a correct answer choice, this is NOT what the question is looking for because you have to go an extra step further, Standard Formula. To go from the Slope-Intercept Formula to the Standard Formula [Ax + By = C], move 2x to the LEFT side of the equivalence symbol, and you will end up with this: 2x + y = -4. So, your answer is b).
