Answer:

y = - 3x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Calculate m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (3, - 4) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (1, 2)

m = \frac{2+4}{1-3} = \frac{6}{-2} = - 3, thus

y = - 3x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation

Using (1, 2), then

2 = - 3 + c ⇒ c = 2 + 3 = 5

y = - 3x + 5 ← equation of line

If the two lines 2x+y=0 and y=3 are plotted on a typical xy coordinate grid, at which point will they intersect?
erastovalidia [21]
(-1.5,3) Y=3 which is up 3 and a horizontal line and 2x+y=0 can be written as y=-2x so in order to get -1.5 you have to make y=3 cause y=3 and when you do that it should look like 3/-2=-2/-2x so x=-1.5

Answer:

  7 7/8

Step-by-step explanation:

There are several ways to get there.

  2.25×3.5 = 7.875 = 7 7/8

  (2 1/4)(3 1/2) = (9/4)(7/2) = 63/8 = 7 7/8

  (2 1/4)(3.5) = 2(3.5) +(1/4)(3.5) = 7 + (2·3.5)/(2·4) = 7 +7/8 = 7 7/8

A typical graphing calculator will let you enter this problem directly, giving you a result either as a decimal, improper fraction, or a mixed number.
