Hello,
Put the 3 as a common factor.
Look:
3x - 6 = 3 . ( x - 2 )
Then,
( 3x - 6) / (x - 2) = 3 .( x - 2) / (x -2)
Now simplity ( x -2)
= 3
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
y = mx + b is the formula for slope intercept. What we can do is plug in the slope and coordinate points to find the y-intercept.
4 = 
(3) + b
-2/3 times 3 is -2 so you can fill that in place.
4 = -2 + b
<u>+2 +2 </u>
6 = b
So the y-intercept is 6 now we can complete the equation.
Hope that helps and have a great day!
For any given y value, there can only be one x value. Let's consider a graph with a line that curves and intersects x=2 twice. This would mean that if you plug 2 into the function you would get two answers. However, this is not possible as plugging in any value to x will result in only one answer. For example, if y= 4x + 3, no matter how many times I plug a number in there, I'm always going to get the same y value, and this is true for all real functions.
Do you want the equation of the line given the slope and a point it goes through?
y - y1 = m (x - x1)
y - 16.5 = 1.75 (x - 10)
y - 16.5 = 1.75x -17.5
y = 1.75x - 1
