One question at a time, please. I will focus on #16 and ignore #18.
slope: 3/4 line passes thru (-8,2)
Write out y = mx + b. Subst. 2 for y. Subst. -8 for x Subst. (3/4) for m:
2 = (3/4)(-8) + b. Find b. 2 = -6 + b => b = 8
So your equation is y = (3/4)x + 8. Please, use ( ) around those fractions!
Answer:
Subtract 8.5
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve the equation, y has to be isolated (only y will be on one side of the equation)
To do this, we have to get rid of the 8.5, so it has to be subtracted from both sides.
So, the correct answer is subtract 8.5
Answer:
m is -12/7 and b is -64/7
Step-by-step explanation:
Use rise over run (change in y / change in x) to find the slope, m:
(-4 - 8) / (-3 + 10)
= -12/7
So, m is -12/7.
Plug in this value and a point into y = mx + b, then solve for b:
y = mx + b
-4 = -12/7(-3) + b
-4 = 36/7 + b
-64/7 = b
So, m is -12/7 and b is -64/7
Answer:
i dont know if you want me to solve for m
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's solve for m.
