2 is your answer duuuuuuuuuuuude
We know the equation of a line is y=mx+b. We know the slope (m) is -2 and all we need is the intercept (b).
Since we know one point, we can plug in 6 for x and 3 for y (along with -2 for m) in our equation and then solve for b.
3= -2*6 + b
3= -12 + b
15 = b
Since we now know the intercept we can now write our equation:
y= -2x + 15
It has no solution because it is not factorable
Answer:
x = 1 , 7
Step-by-step explanation:
Solution:-
- The given equation is as follows:
y = x^2 - 8x + 7
- We can solve the above equation by either making factors or by using Quadratic formula.
Factor Approach:
- Using the constant "7" at the end of the quadratic equation we will determine two integer multiples such that their additions/subtraction results in "-8".
- So the only factor of "7" are:
7 x 1 = 7
-7 x -1 = 7
- We see that addition/subtraction of first (7 , 1 ) does not results in "-8", However, the sum of ( -1 , -7 ) = -1 - 7 = -8. So the correct factors are ( -1 , -7 ). So we replace "-8x" with our factors "-1x" and "-7x":
x^2 -x -7x + 7 = 0
- Take common multiples out of pair of two terms:
x*(x-1) -7*(x-1) = 0
(x-7)*(x-1) = 0
- So we equate each term in bracket with "0" and evaluate the values of x:
(x-7) = 0 , x = 7
(x-1) = 0 , x = 1
- So the solution to the quadratic equation is:
x = 1 , 7
I believe the answer to this is "If they babysit for 5 hours, Jayna will earn more" because Hannah charages 7$ an hour and Jayna charges 10$ an hour so Jayna will have more money than Hannah in five hours.
