Answer:

y=\frac{7}{2} x-\frac{1}{2}

OR

2y=7x-1

Step-by-step explanation:

(-1,-4)  (1,3)

step1: find the gradient m.

m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}

FOR (-1,-4) -1=x1   and  -4=y1

FOR (1,3)    1=x2   and   3=y2

SO,

m=\frac{3-(-4)}{1-(-1)} =\frac{7}{2}

step2: identify a and b for any point.

I will use (1,3)  1=a   and   3=b

step3: sub the values in the equation y-b=m(x-a) to get the equation of the line.

y-b=m(x-a)

y-3=\frac{7}{2}(x-1)

(times \frac{7}{2} by the bracket)

y-3=\frac{7}{2}x-\frac{7}{2}

(add 3 for both sides)

y=\frac{7}{2} x-\frac{1}{2}

the answer is:

y=\frac{7}{2} x-\frac{1}{2}

OR

(you can multiply 2 for both sides to get rid of the fraction)

2y=7x-1

It’s 9 because the whole number is eight, but seven is going to bring the number up ( five or more raise the score, four or less let it rest.) Good luck !

Identify the slope and y-intercept of this equation and then show the steps to convert to standard form
kirill [66]

The slope is the factor in front of x, so slope is 9.

The y intercept is 7 (that's the point of cross the y axis, where x=0)

There are multiple definitions of "standard form" for lines, so here are the two i can think of:

9x - y = -7    (the implicit function form)

or

y-7 = 9*(x-0)  (the point-slope form)

Susie leaves to go shopping driving 45 miles per hour toward the Happy Shopper Grocery Store.
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

Susie reaches the store first being ahead by 0.06 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

20 miles going 45 miles/hour.

20 miles / (45 miles / hour) = 20 miles hours / 45 miles =

= 20 hours / 45 = 4/9 hours = 0.44 hours

25 miles going 50 miles/hour.

25 miles / (50 miles / hour) = 25 miles hours / 50 miles =

= 25 hours / 50 = 1/2 hours = 0.5 hours

So Susie needs less time (= arrives first).

the difference is 0.5 - 0.44 = 0.50-0.44 = 0.06 hours

as additional practice :

0.06 hours is 60 × 0.06 minutes.

60 × 0.06 = 60 × 6 / 100 = 360 / 100 = 3.6 minutes.
