In y = mx + b form, the slope can be found in the m position and the y intercept can be found in the b position.
y = mx + b
y = 2x + 15
slope(m) = 2 and y int (b) = 15
The initial amount is the y intercept, which is 15. The rate of change (the slope) is 2
example :
baskets picked in 1 hr :
y = 2(1) + 15
y = 2 + 15
y = 17
baskets picked in 2 hrs :
y = 2(2) + 15
y = 4 + 15
y = 19
so the slope ( rate of change) is basically saying for every hr of picking, you pick 2 baskets...so your picking 2 baskets per hr.
The y intercept (15) is telling us that they already had 15 baskets to start with.
Answer:
Angle ABC is equal to 130.4°
Step-by-step explanation:
When an angle is bisected, it is divided into two equal parts, so if BD bisects ∠ABC, then the two angles that add up to it, ∠ABD and ∠DBC, must be equivalent.
We know that ∠ABD equals 65.2, so that must mean that ∠DBC also equals 65.2.
Here is our equation:
∠ABC=∠ABD+∠DBC
After substituting, we will get
∠ABC=65.2+65.2=130.4
130.4° is the measure of ∠ABC.
Hello!
The equation can be written as seen below. You only need a y-intercept and slope to write the equation.
y=-2x+3 (it intercepts at a y-value of 3).
I hope this helps!
