Slope of -2, (1,5)

y = mx + b
slope(m) = -2
(1,5)...x = 1 and y = 5
now we sub and find b, the y int
5 = -2(1) + b
5 = -2 + b
5 + 2 = b
7 = b
so ur equation is : y = -2x + 7

The approximation method used to estimate a point between 2 given points is called linear interpolation. The approximation method used to estimate a point that does not lie between 2 given points is called linear extrapolation.A linear function has the form f(x) = mx + b. Its graph is a line that has slope m and y intercept at (0,b).

Solutions 

We know that we are given the slope of -2, (1,5). 

Calculations 


y = mx + b

slope(m) = -2

(1,5)=\ \textgreater \ x = 1 + y = 5

Our next step wll be to substitude and find variable b

5 = -2(1) + b


5 = -2 + b


5 + 2 = b

7 = b

equation =  y = -2x + 7 

Therefore,

monitta

Answer:

$46,053

Step-by-step explanation:

  1. Convert 29% into a decimal, which is 0.29.
  2. Multiply $35,700 by 29% as a decimal (0.29), which is 10,353.
  3. Since the keyword is more, we want to add $35,700 and 10,353 (29% of $35,700). The answer will be $46,053.

A stone is dropped of a 1296-ft-cliff. The height of the stone above the ground is given by the equation h= - 16t^2+1296, where
stich3 [128]

When stone hits the ground, it's height will be zero, and since we're finding the time that's required for the stone to hit the ground, we can set h = 0 and solve for t.

How do i draw a decimal for example 0.26?
elixir [45]
First, you need convert the decimals into fraction

0.26 = 26/100 = 13/50

The next step would be drawing 50 small boxes on a piece of paper. Make it colorless.

The final stap would be giving 13 out of those 50 boxes with different color (such as black), and you're done
