Answer:

y = 4x - 7

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx + b

y = 4x + b

1 = 4(2) + b

b = 1 - 8

b = -7

y = 4x - 7

Answer:

y = 4x-7

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a slope and a point

m = 4 (2,1)

Using the slope intercept form of the equation

y = mx+b

y = 4x+b

From the point x=2 and y =1

1 = 4(2)+b

1 = 8+b

Subtract 8 from each side

1-8 =8-8+b

-7 = b

We can write the equation by using m=4 and b = -7

y = 4x-7

Answer:

The equivalent expressions are:

$b1=\frac{2a}{h}-b2$

$h=\frac{2a}{b1+b2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation for finding area of a trapezoid:

$a=\frac{1}{2}(b1+b2)h\\$

where $a$ represents area, $h$ represents height and $b1\ and\ b2$ represents the base lengths of the trapezoid.

Evaluating $h$ by rearranging the equation to find an equivalent equation.

Multiplying both sides by 2.

$2\times a=2\times\frac{1}{2}(b1+b2)h$

$2a=(b1+b2)h$

Dividing both sides by $b1+b2$

$\frac{2a}{b1+b2}=\frac{(b1+b2)h}{b1+b2}$

$\frac{2a}{b1+b2}=h$

$\therefore h=\frac{2a}{b1+b2}$

Evaluating $b1$ by rearranging the equation to find an equivalent equation.

Multiplying both sides by 2.

$2\times a=2\times\frac{1}{2}(b1+b2)h$

$2a=(b1+b2)h$

Dividing both sides by $h$

$\frac{2a}{h}=\frac{(b1+b2)h}{h}$

$\frac{2a}{h}=b1+b2$

Subtracting both sides by $b2$

$\frac{2a}{h}-b2=b1+b2-b2$

$\frac{2a}{h}-b2=b1$

$\therefore b1=\frac{2a}{h}-b2$

Write the equation of the line the passes through (1, -2) and (3, 4) in slope intercept form.

Alona [7]

Answer:

y=3x-5

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the slope, 4+2 over 3-1, giving you the slope of three

then set up your equation, y=3x+?

I played with the y=3x - part on the website desmos graphing calculator, I first inserted the points then found the slope and then played with the equation till it went through both the points.

Can you guys help please im so confused

marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

a) see below

b) 40x20 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Write down what you know:

- The area of the enclosure is length*width, so

$A = x \cdot y$

- The length of the fencing is 80 meters, so

$2y + x = 80$

Now we have to combine these two equations above, and get rid of y in the process.

First rewrite the second as:

$y = 40 - \frac12 x$

Then substitute for y in the first:

$A = x (40 - \frac12 x) = 40x - \frac12x^2$

b) To maximize A, find the zero of the first derivative:

$A'(x) = 40 - x = 0 \implies x=40$

So y = (80-40)/2 = 20 meters.
