Answer:

y = -3x + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line

y = mx + c

y - intercept point y

m - slope of the line

x - intercept point x

c - intercept point of the line

Step 1: find the slope

m = y2 - y1 / x2 - x1

Given two points

( 1 , 4) ( 2 , 1)

x1 = 1

y1 = 4

x2 = 2

y2 = 1

insert the values

m = 1 - 4 / 2 - 1

m = -3/1

m = -3

y = -3x + c

Step 2: substitute any of the two points given into the equation of a line

y = -3x + c

( 1 ,4)

x = 1

y = 4

4 = -3(1) + c

4 = -3 + c

4 + 3 = c

c = 7

Step 3: sub c into the equation

y = -3x + 7

The equation of the line is

y = -3x + 7

a carpenter cut four lengths of wood. the lengths were 36 3/4 in., 36 3/8 in., 37 1/2., and z in. if the mean of lengths is 36 5
lisov135 [29]
36 3/4 = 36.75
36 3/8 = 36.375
37 1/2 = 37.5
36 5/8 = 36.625

(36.75 + 36.375 + 37.5 + z) / 4 = 36.625
(110.625 + z) / 4 = 36.625
110.625 + z = 36.625 * 4
110.625 + z = 146.5
z = 146.5 - 110.625
z = 35.875 or 35 7/8 <===
