Answer:

Point slope intercept form: The equation for line is given by; y-y_1=m(x-x_1) ......[1] ; where m is the slope and a point (x_1, y_1) on the line.

Let x represents the number of days and y represents the number of friends.

As per the statement:  After day three, he has 25 friends; after day eight, he has 40 friends.

⇒ We have two points i.e,

(3, 25) and (8, 40)

First calculate slope(m);

m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Substitute the given values we get;

m = \frac{40-25}{8-3}=\frac{15}{5} = 3

now, substitute the given values of m=3 and a point (3, 25) in [1] we get;

y-25=3(x-3)

Using distributive property; a \cdot(b+c) = a\cdot b + a\cdot c

y-25 = 3x - 9

Add 25 on both sides, we get;

y-25+25 = 3x - 9+25

Simplify:

y =3x + 16

if  x = 18 days, then;

y = 3(18) + 16 = 54+16 = 70

Therefore, he will have on day 18, if he continues to add the same number of friends each day is, 70 friends.

Write the equation of the line in slope-intercept form using y=mx+b​
natta225 [31]

Answer:

y = 4x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Two points you can see on the graph are (0,4) and (-2,-4)

Now, to find the slope, use delta y/ delta x

(-4-4)/(-2-0)

(-8)/(-2) = 4

Slope is 4.

y = 4x + b

Now, to find b, we need the y-intercept, which is the point where x is 0 and the graph crosses the y-axis.

This value is 4. So, the y-intercept is 4

Substitute into your equation

y = 4x + 4

Answer:

A. 12+2p

G. p+p+12

Step-by-step explanation:

The Eagles basketball team scored 12 more than 2 times as many points in the last game of the season than in the first game

Number of points scored in the last game of the season = 2p + 12

A. 12+2p

Equivalent

B. 2+p+12

= P + 14

Not equivalent

C. 2+12p

Not equivalent

D. p(2+12)

= 2p + 12p

Not equivalent

E. p+2+12

= P + 14

Not equivalent

F. 12p+2p

Not equivalent

G. p+p+12

= 2p + 12
