A line passes through the points (2,-4) and (6,10) What is the equation of the line

1 answer:

7 0

(2,-4)(6,10)
slope(m) = (10 - (-4) / (6 - 2) = (10 + 4) / 4 = 14/4 reduces to 7/2

y = mx + b
slope(m) = 7/2
(2,-4)...x = 2 and y = -4
now we sub and find b, the y int
-4 = 7/2(2) + b
-4 = 7 + b
-4 - 7 = b
-11 = b

so ur equation is : y = 7/2x - 11

Ms. miller decides to give a test worth 90 points and contains 25 questions. multiple-choice questions are worth 3 points and wo

schepotkina [342]

X= # of multiple choice questions
y= # of word problem questions

EQUATION 1:
x + y= 25

EQUATION 2:
3x + 4y= 90

STEP 1:
solve for one variable in equation 1

x + y= 25
subtract y from both sides
x= 25 - y

STEP 2:
substitute x=25-y in equation 2

3x + 4y= 90
3(25-y) + 4y= 90
75 - 3y + 4y= 90
75 + y= 90
subtract 75 from both sides
y= 15 word problems

STEP 3:
substitute y value to find x

x + y= 25
x + 15= 25
x= 10 multiple choice questions

ANSWER: There are 15 word problems and 10 multiple choice questions.

Hope this helps! :)
