Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

when you are taking (4/10) and dividing it by 2. you have a fraction over a fraction. if you remember what you do to the top part of the equation you do to the bottom. so we want to get rid of dividing by 2. (multiple by the reciprocal) the reciprocal of 2 is 1/2. that will cancel out the bottom part of the equation but what you do to the bottom you have to do to the top. so, (4/10) * 1/2 is the same as (4/10) divided by 2. hope that makes sense. it's much easier to write out then type math...

A line with slope 3 passes through the point (0,10). What is the y-coordinate of the point on the line with x-coordinate 2?

lana [24]

Hello!

So to find the y-coordinate we need an equation for the line. The equation we can use is

y = mx + b

In this we already know m(the slope which is 3) and we can find b by plugging in the points that are given.

10 = 3(0) + b
10 = 0 + b
10 = b

So now that we've found b, we can use this in our equation

y = 4x + b

So now we can plug in the x-coordinate that we know (2) and find the y - coordinate.

y = 4(2) + 10
y = 8 + 10
y = 18

18 is your y-coordinate
