What is the slope of a line of best fit if its equation is y = 5x – 4?

1 answer:

8 0

The slope - intercept form of a line is generally expressed as y = mx + b. m and b are the slope and y-intercept, respectively. The given equation, y = 5x - 4 is in this form. Thus, the slope of the line that best fits the equation is 5.

What is greater, 2/5, 3/10, 1/2, or 1/10?

Pani-rosa [81]

2/5 = 40%
3/10= 30%
1/2= 50%
1/10= 10%

so it's 1/2

Help me on number 44 plz

Delvig [45]

All you have to do is write a positive number. let's say 4, then write a positive exponent (that's the tiny number in the right corner of the regular number) and then just write a positive exponent less than 4.
So 4 squared

which of the following gives an equation of a line that passes through the point (6 over 5, -19 over 5) and is parallel to the l

victus00 [196]

One equation for this would be

$y = \frac{41}{16} x-\frac{55}{8}$

We start by finding the slope between the two points:

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\frac{-12-\frac{-19}{5}}{-2-\frac{6}{5}}
\\
\\=(-12+\frac{19}{5}) \div (-2-\frac{6}{5})
\\
\\=(\frac{-60}{5}+\frac{19}{5}) \div (\frac{-10}{5}-\frac{6}{5})
\\
\\=\frac{-41}{5} \div \frac{-16}{5}=\frac{-41}{5} \times \frac{-5}{16}=\frac{41}{16}$

A line parallel to this one will have the same slope. We will use point-slope form to write our equation:

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)
\\
\\y-\frac{-19}{5}=\frac{41}{16}(x-\frac{6}{5})
\\
\\y+\frac{19}{5}=\frac{41}{16}x- \frac{41}{16} \times \frac{6}{5}
\\
\\y+\frac{19}{5}=\frac{41}{16}x-\frac{246}{80}
\\
\\y+\frac{304}{80}=\frac{41}{16}x-\frac{246}{80}
\\
\\y=\frac{41}{16}x-\frac{246}{80}-\frac{304}{80}
\\
\\y=\frac{41}{16}x-\frac{550}{80}
\\
\\y=\frac{41}{16}x-\frac{55}{8}$

real estate julie bought a house for $100,00 five years ago. if the value of the house has appreciated 5% per year , how much is

Stels [109]

To find the answer, turn the appreciated percent into a decimal:

5% ----> .05 (Divide by 100)

Then multiply it by the total value:

100,000 x .05 = 5000

Then add that to the total:

105,000

So the house is worth a total of $105,000.

Hope this helps!
