First, you would do y1-y2, which would be 6-4, which would be 2. Then you would do x1-x2, which would be 5-(-1), which equals 6. Then you would do 2/6, which equals 1/3. Then you would do (1/3)×-1, which would be -1/3. Then, 4-(-1/3), which would be 4 1/3. The equation is y=(1/3)x+4 1/3

Answer:

<h2>y = (1/3)x + 13/3</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

As we move from (-1, 4) to (5, 6), x increases by 6 and y increases by 2.

Thus, the slope of this line is m = rise / run = 2/6 = 1/3.

Starting from the slope-intercept form of the equation of a str. line,

y = mx + b

Substitute 6 for y and 5 for x, as well as 1/3 for m:

6 = (1/3)(5) + b.

Mult. both sides by 3, to eliminate fractions:

18 = 5 + 3b.  Then 3b must equal 13, and b = 13/3.

The desired equation is y = (1/3)x + 13/3.

Check:  Does the given point (-1, 4) satisfy this equation?

Is 4 = (1/3)(-1) + 13/3 true?

Is 4 = -1/3 + 13/3 true?  YES

The expression 475 * 1.076 ^ t the average annual per capita health care costs, in dollars, in the US as a function of the numbe
Alik [6]

Answer:

Y(t)= 475 (1.076)^t

Where Y(t) represent the average annual per capita health care costs

475 represent the initial amount for the average annual per capita health care costs

t represent the number of years since 1970

And 1.076 represent the growth factor given by:

1+r = 1.076

And solving for r we got:

r = 1.076-1 =0.076

So for this case we can say that the value 1.076 represent the growth factor.

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the following model given:

Y(t)= 475 (1.076)^t

Where Y(t) represent the average annual per capita health care costs

475 represent the initial amount for the average annual per capita health care costs

t represent the number of years since 1970

And 1.076 represent the growth factor given by:

1+r = 1.076

And solving for r we got:

r = 1.076-1 =0.076

So for this case we can say that the value 1.076 represent the growth factor.

Addy bought a new shirt and she had a 20% off coupon . The coupon took $8.25 off of the price of her shirt. What did she pay wit
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

$33

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Addy had 20% off coupon.

           The coupon took $8.25 off of the shirt price.

Lets assume the original cost of shirt be "x".

We know Addy had 20% off coupon, which help to reduce the price of shirt by $8.25.

∴ We can form an equation to know the original price of shirt.

⇒\frac{20}{100} \times x= \$ 8.25

⇒\frac{1}{5} \times x= \$ 8.25

Multiplying both side by 5

⇒x= 8.25\times 5

∴ x= \$ 41.25

Hence, The original cost price of shirt was $41.25.

Next, finding the price paid by Addy for her new shirt by reducing coupon discount from the cost of shirt.

Price paid by Addy for her new shirt= \$ 41.25- \$ 8.25= \$ 33

Hence, Addy paid $33 for her new shirt.
