Answer: y=2x-1
We know that the equation of a line is y = mx + b, where m is the gradient and b is the y-intercept.
First to find the gradient, we use the formula y2-y1/x2-x1.
x1 and y1 being the first set of coordinates (2,3) and x2 and y2 being the second set (4,7)
Now we sub in:
m=7-3/4-2
m=4/2
m=2
This is our gradient and we can put it into the equation: y=2x+b
Now we find the y-intercept (b). Since the y-intercept isn’t shown, we can sub in the coordinates to find it.
y=2x+b
Sub (2,3)
3=2(2)+b
3=4+b
-1=b
Sub (4,7)
7=2(4)+b
7=8+b
-1=b
Subbing in both coordinates gives us -1 as the y-intercept, so the finished equation is: y=2x-1
Us the app desmos it’s good
Answer:
Here is a graph I created.
For Miguel to spend the least amount of money, he would have to buy 2 gallons for $5.98 and two 1/2 gallons for $4.20. The total is $10.18.
I'm stuck on the next question though.
The height of the triangular base of the pyramid is calculated through the equation,
h = (cos x)(18 in)
where h is height and x is half of the angle of the triangle. Since the triangle is equilateral, the value of x is 30°. Substituting,
h = (cos 30°)(18 in)
h = 15.59 in
Thus, the height of the base is approximately 15.59 inches.
