Which is the equation in slope-intercept form for the line that passes through (3, 7)

Answer:

y =  -  \frac{5}{3} x + 12

Step-by-step explanation:

First, rewrite the given equation in the form of y=mx+c.

m is the gradient while c is the y-intercept.

3x-5y=8

5y= 3x -8

y =  \frac{3}{5} x -  \frac{8}{5}

Thus, the gradient of the given equation is ⅗.

The product of the gradients of perpendicular lines is -1.

(gradient of line)(⅗) = -1

gradient of line= -1 ÷⅗

gradient of line= -  \frac{5}{3}

y =  -  \frac{5}{3} x + c

To find the value of c, substitute a coordinate.

When x=3, y=7,

7 =  -  \frac{5}{3} (3) + c

7= -5 +c

c= 7+5

c= 12

Hence, the equation of the line is y =  -  \frac{5}{3} x + 12.

What is the y- intercept of the graph of 2x + y = -4?
Brrunno [24]

First write the equation in slope-intercept form which is more commonly known as <em>y = mx + b</em> form where the <em>m </em>or the coefficient of the x term represents the slope of the <em>b</em> or the constant term represents the y-intercept.

Subtract 2x from both sides to get <em>y = -2x - 4</em>.

I put the x term first because that's how it is in y = mx + b form.

Now we can see that the <em>b</em> or the constant term is -4.

We can write this as the ordered pair (0, -4).

Keep in mind when writing a y-intercept as an ordered pair, your x-coordinate will always be 0 in the ordered pair.

Find the mean of this data: 37, 36, 40, 36, 40, 36, 38. If necessary, round to the nearest tenth.
Nataly_w [17]
Add all the numbers together, and divide your total by the number of value there (in this case, 7). The nearest tenth is to one place after the decimal.

DaniilM [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

b(a + 1) + a = b*a + b + a = ab + b + a

1) b(2a +1 ) = b*2a + b*1 = 2ab + b  Not equivalent.

2)a + (a +1)*b = a + ab+ b     Equivalent

3) (a +1)(b+ a) = a*(b +a) + 1*(b+a) = ab+ a² +b + a  Not equivalent.

4) (a + 1)b + a = ab+ b + a   Equivalent

5) a + b(a+1) = a +ab + b Equivalent

6) a + (a +1) + b = a + a + 1 + b = 2a + 1 +b  Not equivalent.

7) a(b +1) + b = ab + a + b  Equivalent
