linear equation that passes through the two points (-6, -7) and (3, -4) is y=\frac{1}{3}x-5

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to write the equation that passes through the two points (-6, -7) and (3, -4).

The equation can be written is point slope form.

The standard form of point slope equation is:

y=mx+b

where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

Finding slope m:

Slope can be found by using formula:

slope = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x{2}-x_{1}} \\Where\,\, y_{2}=-4,y_{1}=-7,x{2}=3,x_{1}=-6\\slope =\frac{-4-(-7)}{3-(-6)}\\slope=\frac{-4+7}{3+6}\\slope=\frac{3}{9}\\slope=\frac{1}{3}

So, slope is \frac{1}{3}

Now finding y-intercept b

Putting slope \frac{1}{3} and point(-6,-7)

y=mx+b\\x=-6,y=-7,m=\frac{1}{3} \\-7=\frac{1}{3}(-6)+b\\-7=-2+b\\b=-7+2\\b=-5

So, value of b is -5

Putting values to find the equation:

y=mx+b\\m=\frac{1}{3} and b=-5\\y=\frac{1}{3}x-5

So, linear equation that passes through the two points (-6, -7) and (3, -4) is y=\frac{1}{3}x-5

Answer:

a = 8, b = \frac{3}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the exponential function

f(x) = ab^{x}

To find a and b use the given coordinate points on the graph

Using (0, 8 ), then

8 = ab^{0} [ b^{0} = 1 ] , then

a = 8

f(x) = 8b^{x}

Using (2, 18 ) , then

18 = 8b² ( divide both sides by 8 )

\frac{18}{8} = b² , that is

b² = \frac{9}{4} ( take the square root of both sides )

b = \sqrt{\frac{9}{4} } = \frac{3}{2}

Thus

f(x) = 8(\frac{3}{2}) ^{x}

2. A man buys eggs at 55kobo a score . he finds that 10% of the eggs are unsellable but sells the rest at 60kobo a dozen .find i
liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

Percentage Profit is 63.63%

Step-by-step explanation:

The man buys 440 eggs at 55 pence a score

i.e. he buys 20 eggs for 55 pence

He buys 1 egg for 55/20 = 2.75 pence

Therefore, he buys 440 eggs for = 440 × 2.75 = 1210 pence

10% eggs are unsaleable

thus he sold = 440 - 440 × 10/100 = 440 - 44 = 396 eggs

Eggs sold in dozen = 396/12 = 33

He sold 1 dozen for = 60 pence

Thus, he sold 33 dozen for = 33 × 60 = 1980 pence

Profit = 1980 - 1210 = 770 pence

% Profit = (770/1210) × 100 = 63.63%

(hope this helps can i plz have brainlist :D hehe)
