The first equation, 8x - 9y = - 23
Obtain the equation in slope- intercept form
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y-intercept )
to calculate m use the gradient formula
m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )
with (x₁, y₁ ) = ( 
, 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 4, - 1 )
m = 
= (- 4)/- 
= 
partial equation is y = x + c
to find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation
using (- 4, - 1 ), then
- 1 = - 
+ c ⇒ c = 
y = x + ← in slope- intercept form
the equation of a line in standard form is
Ax + By = C ( A is a positive integer and B, C are integers )
rearrange the slope- intercept equation into this form
multiply through by 9
9y = 8x + 23 ( subtract 9y and 23 from both sides )
8x - 9y = - 23 in standard form
Answer:
DeShawn pays .67 cent per pound of sugar
Step-by-step explanation:
Remember, math is a language
when you see per think fractions
15.2 miles per hour = 15.2 miles / 1 hour
since this is a fraction, Units can cancel just like numbers
To cancel miles and be left with hours rearrange the fraction
1 hour / 15.2 miles
then multiply by 72 miles
the miles cancel and youre left with hours!
so youd write and solve 72 / 15.2
Answer:
<h2>- 2</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope-intercept form of an equation of a line:
m - slope
b - y-intercept
We have
Therefore the slope is equal to -2.
F(x) = 2x + 5
-----------------------------------
Find f(x + 1) :
-----------------------------------
f(x +1) = 2(x + 1) + 5
f(x +1) = 2x + 2 + 5
f(x + 1) = 2x + 5
-----------------------------------
Find -2f(x+1):
-----------------------------------
-2(fx+1) = -2(2x + 5)
-2(fx+1) = -4x - 10
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: -2(fx+1) = -4x - 10
----------------------------------------------------------------------
