Y=mx+b is The equation of any straight line, called a linear equation, can be written as: y = mx + b, where m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept. The y-intercept of this line is the value of y at the point where the line crosses the y axis.

y = mx + b is what's called the slope formula.

It's used for when you want to know what the formula for a line is.

y is just the y value.

Sometimes, a question will ask for you to find a line with some slope and going through some point. In this case, you would replace y with the y value of that point.

However, when you're finished with your equation, y should always be a variable.

m is the slope.

To find the slope, you have to use the point-slope formula. When given two points, you put them into this equation: \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

When you're finished with your equation, m should be a number.

x is just the x value.

Sometimes, a question will ask for you to find a line with some slope and going through some point. In this case, you would replace x with the x value of that point.

However, when you're finished with your equation, x should always be a variable.

b is the y-intercept, or when x = 0.

This is usually what you'll need to find in y = mx + b. What will likely happen is you'll given everything but b. All you need to do then is plug in the values you're given into this equation.

When you're finished with your equation, b should be a number.

If you have any questions, let me know! I'm happy to edit my response with more information if need be.

<span><span>Price after trade discount = $14,000 - (40% trade discount)

Price after trade discount = $14,000 - ($14,000 * 0.4)

Price after trade discount = $14,000 - ($5,600)

Price after trade discount = $8,400 </span>Price after trade discount = $8,400

2/10 EOM price = $8,400 - (2% discount)

2/10 EOM price = $8,400 - ($8,400 * 0.02)

2/10 EOM price = $8,400 - ($168)

2/10 EOM price = $8,232

So Intel will pay $8,232 on August 5.
Hope this helps.

according to a recent survey, in 2000, 64% of households had one or more pets.Throughout the next decade, this decreased by appr
ehidna [41]

Answer:

Year 2034

Step-by-step explanation:

In 2000, 64% had one or more pets

<em>Since decreasing at 1% per year, we can say:</em>

<em>In 2001, 63%</em>

<em>In 2002, 62%</em>

<em>In 2003, 61%</em>

<em>In 2004, 60%</em>

<em>And so on</em>

<em />

To go to 30% from 60% in 2004, we would need to decrease 60 - 30 = 30%, and that will occur after 30 more years. So that would be the year

2004 + 30 = 2034

So, year 2034

The battery standby duration (in hours) of a new model of cell phone is known to be normally distributed. Ten pieces of such new
Stells [14]

x = number of hours

want to find probability (P) x >= 13

x is N(14,1) transform to N(0,1) using z = (x - mean) / standard deviation so can look up probability using standard normal probability table.

P(x >= 13) = P( z > (13 - 14)/1) = P(z > -1) = 1 - P(z < -1) = 1 - 0.1587 = 0.8413

To convert that to percentage, multiply 100, to get 84.13%
