Give the slope-intercept form of the equation of the line that is perpendicular to –7x – 8y = 12 and contains P(–3, 1)

1 answer:

6 0

∵the line is ⊥ to -7x -8y =12
∴its slope = -(-7/-8)= -7/8
∵it passes through P
∴(y-1)=(-7/8)(x+3)
y-1 = (-7/8)x - 21/8
y = (-7/8)x -13/8

Complete the equation of the graphed linear function in point-slope form.

They are using the point (2, 8) to write this equation. You know that because of the "y-8" in the equation, and also because it's bolded! lol. Anyways, what's missing is the slope and the x value from our point. The slope is -2. Find this by picking 2 points on the line and putting those into the slope equation. Use the bolded point and the x-intercept: (2,8) and (6,0): $m= \frac{0-8}{6-2}= \frac{-8}{4}=-2$ . As stated earlier the x coordinate in the bolded point is 2. So our equation is y-8=-2(x-2). And there you Go!

Answer:

6x - 15

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 2x + 3 and g(x) = 3x - 9.

$f(g(x))=2(3x-9)+3\\f(g(x))=6x-18+3\\f(g(x))=6x-15$

Use the following set of data: 78, 78, 83, 85, 89, 91, 95, 98 What is the mode for the set of data?

Yuliya22 [10]

To find the mode you need to put all the numbers given in order, then count them and decide which number occurs the most.

Given the number you have here, we're going to put them in order, like so,

78, 78, 83, 85, 89, 91, 95, 98 (they were in order already)

Now we see which number occurs the most.

The number would be 78

~Hope this helped!

A cell phone company charges a monthly rate of $10.00 and $0.20 a minute per call. Write an equation that can be used to determi

Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

y = 0.20m + 10, 100 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation: y = mx + b

Fill it in.

m = slope = 0.20

b = y-intercept = 10

y = 0.20x + 10 (They wanted the variable to be m. So, changing that.)

y = 0.20m + 10

Fill in.

30 = 0.20m + 10

Solve.

20 = 0.20m

100 = m
