Answer:

y = (3/4)x

Step-by-step explanation:

1)  Find the slope of the line.  As we go from ( -8,-6) to (12,9), x increases by 20 and y increases by 15.  Thus, the slope, m, is m = rise / run = 15/20 = 3/4

2) Recognize that the y-intercept is zero (0) because this is direct variation; the line goes thru the origin.

3) write the equation of the line:  y = mx + b becomes y = (3/4)x

\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{-8}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-6})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{12}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{9}) \\\\\\ slope = m\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise}{ y_2- y_1}}{\stackrel{run}{ x_2- x_1}}\implies \cfrac{9-(-6)}{12-(-8)}\implies \cfrac{9+6}{12+8}\implies \cfrac{15}{20}\implies \cfrac{3}{4}

\bf \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-(-6)=\cfrac{3}{4}[x-(-8)]\implies y+6=\cfrac{3}{4}(x+8) \\\\\\ y+6=\cfrac{3}{4}x+6\implies y=\cfrac{3}{4}x

Answer:

I think it would be 34 because I divided 68.2 by 4 and got 17.05, so I multiplied that by 2, and it's closest to 34.

<em>So I think it's A.</em>

But y'all don't be mad if I'm wrong cuz I said I think.

Find the point(s) of intersection between the quadratic function y = x + 4x + 4 and the linear function y = 2x+4.​
Andrews [41]

Answer:

(0, 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the intersection of two lines, we want to find the value when they equal each other. To do this, we want to set the equations equal to each other.

First, let's simplify y = x + 4x + 4 by combining the x's.

y = 5x + 4

Now let's set the equations equal to each other. Since they both equal y, we can set the opposite sides equal to each other.

5x + 4 = 2x + 4

Now you want to combine the terms.

[subtract 4] 5x = 2x

[subtract 2x] 3x = 0

Now you want to isolate the x.

[divide by 3] x = 0

Now we want to find y by plugging x = 0 back into the equations.

y = 5(0) + 4

[multiply] y = 0 + 4

[add] y = 4

Check this with the other equation.

y = 2(0) + 4

[multiply] y = 0 + 4

[add] y = 4

Your answer is correct!

(0, 4)

It is systems of equations.
Let cups=c and l=liters
7c + 3l = 9.8 
<span>5l - 9c = 6 </span>

<span>35c + 15l = 49 </span>
<span>15l - 27c = 18 </span>
<span>62c = 31 </span>

<span>c = 1/2 pint </span>
<span>l = 2.1 pint </span>
