Answer:

y = 2x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y-intercept )

to calculate m use the gradient formula

m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 2, - 9) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (6, 7)

m = (7 + 9) / (6 + 2) = 16/8 = 2

y = 2x + c ← is the partial equation

to find c use either of the 2 points

using (6, 7), then

7 = 12 + c ⇒ c = 7 - 12 = - 5

y = 2x - 5 ← equation in slope-intercept form

Complete the factorization of 3x ^ 2 - 10x + 8 3x^ 2 -10x+8=(x- Box x-4)

aniked [119]

Answer:

$3x^2-10x+8=(x-x_1)(x-x_2)=(x-2)(x-\frac{4}{3})$

Step-by-step explanation:

The general form of a quadratic polynomial is given by:

$ax^2+bx+c$ (1)

You have the following polynomial:

$3x^2-10x+8$ (2)

In order to complete the factorization you can use the quadratic formula, to obtain the roost of the polynomial. The quadratic formula is given by:

$x_{1,2}=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$ (3)

By comparing the equation (1) with the equation (2) you obtain:

a = 3

b = -10

c = 8

Then, you replace these values in the equation (3):

$x_{1,2}=\frac{-(-10)\pm \sqrt{(-10)^2-4(3)(8)}}{2(3)}\\\\x_{1,2}=\frac{10\pm2}{6}\\\\x_1=2\\\\x_2=\frac{4}{3}$

Then, the factorization of the polynomial is:

$3x^2-10x+8=(x-x_1)(x-x_2)=(x-2)(x-\frac{4}{3})$

Anita is making a curtain to surround a table. She bought 3 1/4 yards of fabric. Her total cost was $13. What was the cost per y

Ratling [72]

3.25y=13. Isolate y by dividing both sides of the equation by 3.25. So 3.25y/3.25=13/3.25. Your answer is therefore 13/3.25, or 4
