Answer: y = -6x + 2
m = y_2 - y_1
/ x_2 - x_1
-10 - 8
/ 2 - (-1)
= -18/3 = -6
m (slope) = -6
y = mx + b
y = -6x +b
Find b using (-1,8)
y = -6x +b
8 = -6(-1) + b
8 = 6 + b
-6 -6
2 = b
Final answer: y = -6x + 2
To check using one of the points: (-1,8) or (2,-10)
y = -6x + 2
-10 = -6(2) + 2
-10 = -12 + 2
-10 = -10
This is a true statement.
7=3(5+x). 7 represents the pay altogether. 3 represents the total number of people. 5 represents the price of a ticket +x which represents the coupon
5 baskets...each holds 15 apples....(5 x 15) = 75 apples
4 friends pick the same amount...
4 x 75 = 300 apples picked in total. <==
Answer:
x is 11
Step-by-step explanation:
We know the slope (3/4) and a point (3,-4), so we can use point-slope form (y-y1=m(x-x1)
Substitute the numbers into the equation
y--4=3/4(x-3)
simplify
y+4=3/4(x-3)
do the distributive property
y+4=3/4x-9/4
subtract 4 from both sides
y=3/4x-25/4
this is the equation of the line.
Since it says that (x,2) is a point in the equation, we can substitute it into the equation
2=3/4x-25/4
add 25/4 to both sides
33/4=3/4x
multiply by 4/3
11=x
we can double check by plugging (11,2) into the equation of the line.
2=3/4(11)-25/4
2=33/4-25/4
2=2
it works! :)
Hope this helps!
