Considering that the grows at a constant rate we can form an equation where x = how many years after it was planted
and y = its height
Now we just need to find how many feet it grows each year. To do that we just need to compare its height from a certain age to another:
6 years after it was planted : 7 feet,
so x=6 and y = 7
9 years after it was planted: 16 feet
so x= 9 y=16
With thay we can conclude that in 3 years , the tree grew 9 feet. To discover how much the tree grow each year we just nee to divide 9 feet by 3 years which is 3 feet every year.
To write the equatopn now we just need to find the y-intercept which we can discover by setting x to 0:
If in 6 years after the tree was planted it is 7 feet long , we can discover how long it was when it was planted by subtracting 6 years of growth (The slope ) which is 3
7 - 6(years)×3(feet the tree grow each year)
7 - 18 = -11
The tree was -11 feet long when it was planted
which is our y-intercept
( I know it doesnt make sense , but if you apply to a graph it will make more sense )
Now we can make the equation
y = 3x -11
Answer:
x= 55
Step-by-step explanation:
The two angles add to 180 degrees since they form a straight line
2x+70 =180
Subtract 70 from each side
2x+70-70=180-70
2x= 110
Divide by 2
2x/2 = 110/2
x= 55
Answer:4000
Step-by-step explanation:40 times 100 is 4000
Point slope form follows the equation y-y₁=m(x-x₁), so we want it to look like that. Starting off with m, or the slope, we can find this using your two points with the formula
. Note that y₁ and x₁ are from the same point, but it does not matter which point you designate to be point 1 and point 2. Thus, we can plug our numbers in - the x value comes first in the equation, and the y value comes second, so we have
as our slope. Keeping in mind that it does not matter which point is point 1 and which point is point 2, we go back to y-y₁=m(x-x₁) and plug a point in (I'll be using (10,5)). Note that x₁, m, and y₁ need to be plugged in, but x and y stay that way so that you can plug x or y values into the formula to find where exactly it is on the line. Thus, we have our point slope equation to be
