The equation in y = mx+b form is y = -450x+2745
where,
x = number of hours that have passed by
y = distance to destination in miles
The y intercept is 2745 since this is the initial starting y value, aka the starting distance. Therefore b = 2745.
The slope is -450 or -450/1 since for each hour, the distance goes down by 450. You can think of it as
slope = (change in y)/(change in x)
slope = (change in distance)/(change in time)
slope = (-450 miles)/(1 hour)
slope = -450
Answer:
y = 17x
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
y = 0.87x + 0.02
Step-by-step explanation:
Euros as a function of dollars means that euros is y and dollars are x.
We are given 2 points: (4, 3.5) and (10, 8.72)
slope = (8.72 - 3.5)/(10 - 4)
slope = 5.22/6 = 0.87
y = 0.87x + b
3.5 = 0.87(4) + b
b = 0.02
y = 0.87x + 0.02
Answer:
y= -5/2x -1
