Hey there!

Slope intercept form is defined as:

y = mx +b

In this form for lines, m is the slope, and b is the y intercept. Hence, slope intercept. That means that in order to write it in this form, we need to know both the slope and y intercept. We'll start with the former.

Slope is defined as ride over run, or up over right (you know it's negative when it goes left). In order to calculate this, we can take two points that lie directly on a coordinate and put them into a fraction as rise/run.

We have;

(0,3) and (5,9)

As we can see, the difference between the two points is that (5,9) is 5 more to the right, and is 6 higher.  We get 6/5. We can even see that in the coordinates, because they're written as (x, y). Additionally, you can use the slope given two points formula:

y2-y1/x2-x1 =

9-3/5-0 = 6/5

Notice how we get the same thing, because in both methods you're finding the difference between the two coordinates based off of rise/run. That's why it's y2 minus y1.


Now that we have our slope, we need the y intercept. The y intercept is simply where the line crosses the y axis. As we can see, it crosses at (0,3) - so the intercept is 3. Now we can create our equation

Slope = 6/5
Y intercept = 3

y = mx + b  --> y = 6/5x + 3

Your answer is A, the first option.

Hope this helps!

Goshia [24]

Answer:

c.126 red

Step-by-step explanation:

red+green+yellow=350

10% out of 350 are yellow

0.1 times 350=35

350-35=315

3/5 out of 315 are green

red is not green so

2/5 of what is left is red

2/5 of 315 is red

2/5 times 315=430/5=126

126 red

nshs = sshs+5

wshs = nshh + 6 = sshs + 11

So nshs + wshs + sshs = 3*sshs + 16

So sshs = 10, nshs = 15 and wshs = 21
