Answer:
y-8=2(x-9)
Step-by-step explanation:
m=y2-y1/x2-x1
10-8/10-9=2
y-y1=m(x-x1)
y-8=2(x-9)
Solve for x by simplifying both sides of the equation, then isolating the variable.
x = 15
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a linear function in point-slope form is y – y1 = m(x – x1)
The point is A (x1 , y1)
in this exercice : x1 = 3 and y1 =2
let A(3,2) B(-9,6)
the slope is : m = (YB - YA)/(XB -XA)
(6-2)/(-9-3) =4/(-12) = -1/3
the slope is m = -1/3
The equation is : y – y1 = m(x – x1)
y-2 =-1/3 ( x-3)
or : 3y-6 = -x+3
Y=mx+b
x=number of newspapers
37.5 earned for 5 newspapers
37.5=5m+b
earned 75 and deliverd 20 newpapers
75=20m+b
we have
37.5=5m+b and
75=20m+b
multiply first equaiton by -1 and add to other equaiton
-37.5=-5m-b
<u>75=20m+b +</u>
37.5=15m+0b
37.5=15m
divide both sides by 15
2.5=m
sub back to find b
75=2.5(20)+b
75=50+b
minsu 50 both sides
25=b
y=2.5x+25 is lnear funtion
