You multiply straight across, and one number is a fraction and the other is not.
Answer:
y+9=3/4(x-8)
Step-by-step explanation:
y-y1=m(x-x1)
y-(-9)=3/4(x-8)
y+9=3/4(x-8)
Answer:
<em>The value 60 represents the speed of the vehicle the counselor is driving.</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Linear Function</u>
The linear relationship between two variables d and t can be written in the form

Where m is the slope (or rate of change of d with respect to t) and b is the y-intercept or the point where the graph of the line crosses the y-axis
The function provided in our problem is

Where d is the distance in miles the counselor still needs to drive after t hours. Rearranging the expression:

Comparing with the general form of the line we can say m=-60, b=130. The value of -60 is the slope or the rate of change of d with respect to t. Since we are dealing with d as a function of time, that value represents the speed of the vehicle the counselor is driving. It's negative because the distance left to drive decreases as the time increases
Y=mx+b
First use the two point slope formula to find m
(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
(2-0)/(-9-9)
2/-18
1/-9=m
Next use the point slope formula to find the answer
y-y1=m(x-x1)
y-0=1/-9(x-9)
Now use Distributive Property
y-0=1/-9(x)+1/-9(-9)
y-0=1/-9x+1
Your answer would be
y=-1/9x+1
