Answer:

The equation of the line is y=45.25t+545

Step-by-step explanation:

The general for of a line is:

y=mt+n       (1)

where:

m is the slope of the line and m is the intercept with the axis of the dependent variable, y in this case.

In order to obtain the value of the slope (m) we can use the corresponding slope formula:

m=\frac{y_{2}-y_1 }{t_2-t_1}         (2)

where t_1, t_2, y_1 and y_2 are the corresponding coordinates of the given points. In this case:

t_1=0\\t_2=4\\y_1=545\\y_2=726\\

Substituting these values in equation (2) we obtain:

m=\frac{726-545}{4-0}=\frac{181}{4}=45.25\\m=45.25

Hence, the line equation is now:

y=45.25t+n     (3)

Now to obtain the value of n you can follow two options:

  1. You can substitute one of your points, A or B, in equation (3). In this way, you will obtain an equation where the variable is n

Note that for this question, it is easier to select point A because of having the independent variable equals to zero t=0. Hence, substituting point A in equation (3):

45.25*0+n=545\\n=545

Therefore, the line equation is: y=45.25t+545

The second option to find n is to think of the meaning of the <em>intercept</em>. The <em>intercept </em>of a line is defined as the point in which the line crosses the axis of the dependent variable, which also means that the value of the independent variable for this point is zero. From this, we could have automatically said that n is equal to 545.

See the attachment for a plot of the line.

Answer:

y = - \frac{63}{4} or - 15.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Order of operations.

y + \frac{9}{2} = y - \frac{3}{4} - \frac{y}{3} Subtract y from each side.

y - y + \frac{9}{2} = y - y - \frac{3}{4} - \frac{y}{3}

\frac{9}{2} =  - \frac{3}{4} - \frac{y}{3}   Add \frac{3}{4} to each side

\frac{9}{2} + \frac{3}{4} = - \frac{3}{4} + \frac{3}{4} - \frac{y}{3}

\frac{9}{2} + \frac{3}{4} = - \frac{y}{3}    Find the common denominator for \frac{9}{2} and \frac{3}{4}, which is 4

\frac{9}{2} * \frac{2}{2} + \frac{3}{4} = - \frac{y}{3}

\frac{18}{4} + \frac{3}{4} = - \frac{y}{3}

\frac{21}{4} = - \frac{y}{3}   Multiply each side by 3

\frac{21}{4}  * 3 = - \frac{y}{3} * 3

\frac{63}{4} = - y      Divide each side by -1

y = - \frac{63}{4} = - 15 \frac{3}{4}

y = - 15.75

What is the slope of the line which contains the ordered pairs (2, 1) and (-3, 5)?
Mumz [18]

Answer:

d. -4/5

Step-by-step explanation:

When using the equation m = y2 - y1 / x2 - x1, we get m = 5-1 / -3-2.

Simplified: m = 4/-5.

The negative can be placed on the numerator or denominator, it doesn't make a difference.
