Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The standard equation of a line in intercept form is given by :-
, where m is the slope of the line and c is the y-intercept.
The graph shows the price, y, in dollars, of different amounts of granola, x, in pounds:
From the graph , it can be seen that the line is passing from the origin (0,0).
Put x=0 and y=0 in (i) , we get c=0
Also, at x= 2, we have y=8
Put these values in (i) , we get
[tex]8=m(2)+0\\\\\Rightarrow\ m=\dfrac{8}{2}=4[/tex]
Now, the equation best represents the relationship between x and y will be

Slope-intercept form:
y = mx + b "m" is the slope, "b" is the y-intercept (the y value when x = 0)
First find the slope of the line that passes through (4,9) and (-3,6).
Use the slope formula and plug in the two points:
A.) For lines to be parallel, their slopes have to be the same.
Since the given line's slope is 3/7, the parallel line's slope is also 3/7
y = 3/7x + b To find "b", plug in the point (14,8) into the equation
8 = 3/7(14) + b
8 = 42/7 + b
8 = 6 + b Subtract 6 on both sides
2 = b
B.) For lines to be perpendicular, their slopes have to be the opposite/negative reciprocal (flipped sign and number)
For example:
slope is 3
perpendicular line's slope is -1/3
slope is -2/3
perpendicular line's slope is 3/2
Since the given line's slope is 3/7, the perpendicular line's slope is -7/3
y = -7/3x + b Plug in (14, 8) to find "b"
8 = -7/3(14) + b
8 = -98/3 + b Add 98/3 on both sides
8 + 98/3 = b Make the denominators the same
24/3 + 98/3 = b
122/3 = b

Answer:
34.6 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The distance can be found using the Pythagorean theorem. Where a, b, c are the sides of a right triangle with c as the hypotenuse, it tells you ...
a² + b² = c²
a = √(c² -b²)
base-to-string = √(39² -18²) = √1197 ≈ 34.598
The distance from the base of the pole to the end of the string is about 34.6 feet.
