Answer:

<h2>They picked 4 and one half kilograms of cherries.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>We know that:</h3>

Cherries picked by Noah: $3kg$

Cherries picked by Mai: $\frac{3}{2}kg$ , because she picked half as many cherries as Noah.

Therefore, the total number of cherries would be the sum of Noah's cherries and Mai's cherries:

$3kg+\frac{3}{2}kg= \frac{9}{2} kg = 4.5 kg$

So, they picked 4 and one half kilograms of cherries.

Write an equation in slope-intercept form for the following line:<br> (-14.1) and (13,-2)

vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

$y=-\frac{1}{9}x-\frac{5}{9}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$(-14,1)(13,-2)$

Use the slope-intercept formula:

$y=mx+b$

m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. Use the slope formula first:

$\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}} =\frac{rise}{run}$

Rise over run is the change in the y-axis over the change in the x-axis. Plug in the coordinates:

$(-14(x_{1}),1(y_{1}))\\(13(x_{2}),-2(y_{2}))$

$\frac{-2-1}{13-(-14)}$

Simplify parentheses (two negatives makes a positive):

$\frac{-2-1}{13+14}$

Simplify:

$\frac{-3}{27} =-\frac{3}{27}=-\frac{1}{9}$

The slope is $-\frac{1}{9}$ . Insert into the equation:

$y=-\frac{1}{9}x +b$

Now, to find the y-intercept, take one of the points and substitute for the x and y values of the equation:

$(13,-2)\\-2=-\frac{1}{9} (13)+b$

Solve for b, the y-intercept. Simplify parentheses:

$-\frac{1}{9}*\frac{13}{1}=-\frac{13}{9}$

$-2=-\frac{13}{9} +b$

Add $-\frac{13}{9}$ to both sides:

$-2+\frac{13}{9}=-\frac{13}{9} +\frac{13}{9} +b\\\\-2+\frac{13}{9} =b$

Simplify:

$-\frac{2}{1} +\frac{13}{9}\\\\-\frac{18}{9}+\frac{13}{9}\\ \\b=-\frac{5}{9}$

The y-intercept is $-\frac{5}{9}$ . Insert this into the equation:

$y=-\frac{1}{9} x-\frac{5}{9}$

Finito.
