Notice that for this question, they are providing you with:
1) The slope of the line (4)
2) a point on the plane through which the line goes (6, -2)
So you can directly use for this the "point-slope" form of a line which is as follows:
This includes m as the slope, and the pair (x0, y0) as the pair representing the point the line goes through.
So, let's use the info they gave you to complete this:
which we can work out a little more:
And even a little more to finish the equation of the line in its standard slope-intercept form:
So the equation of the line is:
Answer:
Mrs. B's age = y = 38 years
her son's age = x = 8 years
Step-by-step explanation:
To Find:
Mrs. B's age = y =?
her son's age = x = ?
Solution:
Let Mrs. B's age be 'y' years
and her son's age be 'x' years
Three years ago Mrs B's will be (y - 3) and her son's age will be (x - 3)
According to the first given condition,
y = 6 + 4x ...............Equation ( 1 )
According to the second given condition,
(y - 3 ) = 7 (x - 3 )..........Equation ( 2 )
equating equation 1 in equation 2 we get
6 + 4x -3 = 7x - 21
7x - 4x = 21 + 3
∴
Now substitute x in equation 1 we get
y = 6 + 4×8
y = 6 + 32
∴ y = 38 years
Mrs. B's age = y = 38 years
her son's age = x = 8 years
