Answer:

y = -6x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx + b

b = slope = (-5 - (-17))/(1 - 3) = 12/(-2) = -6

y = -6x + b

-5 = -6(1) + b

b = 1

y = -6x + 1

Answer:

y=-6x+1

Step-by-step explanation:

The linear equation with slope m and intercept c is given as follows:

y=mx+c

The formula for slope of line with points (x_{1} ,y_{2} ) and (x_{2} ,y_{2} ) can be expressed as,

m=\frac{y_{2} -y_{1} }{x_{2} -x_{1} }

The line passes the points that are (1,-5) and (3,-17)

The slope of the line can be obtained as follows:

m=\frac{-17-(-5)}{(3)-1}

m=\frac{-12}{2}

m=-6

The slope of the line is -6

The line passes through the point (3,-17)

Substitute 3 for x, - 6 for m and -17 for y in equation y=mx+c to obtain the value of c.

-17=-6(3)+c

-17=-18+c

-17+18=c

1=c

The equation is y=-6x+1

Hence, the equation of the line that passes through the points (1,-5) and (3,-17) is y=-6x+1

The distance from Caleb's house to the school is 1.5 miles, and the distance from Ashley's house to the school is 3520 feet. Who
lapo4ka [179]

Hi there!

To solve this problem, first we need to convert everything into feet.

1.5 mi = 7920 ft

Since
7920 is greater than 3520,

Ashley lives closer to the school.

Hope this helps!

A person can walk 3 1/4 miles in one hour. How many miles can the person walk in 1 3/4 hours?
weqwewe [10]
Since Emily is walking at a constant speed, we can solve this using proportions, equating ratios of distance/time.

The first ratio is 3/4 miles/1/4 hour
The second ratio is 1 mile/ x hour

Equating the two ratios: 3/4 / 1/4 = 1/x
3 = 1/x
x = 1/3 hour

A square has a side that is (x-3) units long. If the area of the square is 126.5625 sq units, what is the value of x?
Kitty [74]

Answer:

14.25 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a square= l*b= (x-3)(x-3)=x^{2}-3x-3x+9=x^{2}-6x+9

x^{2}-6x+9=126.5625

x^{2}-6x-117.5625

Solving the equation using quadratic equation then as attached

x=14.25 units

To prove

x-3=14.25-3= 11.25 units

area=11.25*11.25=126.5625 sq units
