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

In a school, 25% of the teachers teach basic math. If there are 50 basic math teachers, how many teachers are there in a school?
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

200 teachers

Step-by-step explanation:

If 25% is a fourth of the teacher staff, and this value is fifty, to find out how many teachers there are you just have to multiply by 4 to find out the 100%. So this means that 50*4= 200

How do you solve this equation? 1/3|6x+5|=7
ycow [4]
|6x + 5| = 7 · 3

|6x + 5| = 21

6x + 5 = 21 (1st equation)

-6x + 5 = 21

(1st equation)

6x = 21 - 5

6x = 16

x = 8/3

(2nd equation)

-6x - 5 = 21

-6x = 21 + 5

-6x = 26

x = -13/3

so all of the solutions are;

x = -13/3, 8/3
