Answer:

y = 2x - 3

Yes, your answer is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the slope of the two points by using the slope formula:

y2 - y1

m = -------------

x2 - x1

13 - 5

m = -------------

8 - 4

m = ------- = 2

To find the y-intercept, plug in values into the slope-intercept formula:

y = mx + b

Where m = slope and b= y-intercept. Use any one of the points. I'll be using (4,5):

5 = (2) (4) + b

5 = 8 + b

-3 = b

b = -3

So, putting everything into the slope intercept formula:

y = 2x - 3

How to solve this Algebra question?

PIT_PIT [208]

Slope formula: $\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Firstly, let's set up our equation. Place the two coordinates in the slope formula and have it equal 8: $\frac{3k-4-k}{5-(-2)}=8$

Next, combine like terms: $\frac{2k-4}{7}=8$

Next, multiply both sides by 7: $2k-4=56$

Next, add 4 onto both sides of the equation: $2k=60$

Lastly, divide both sides by 2 and your answer will be $k=30$

charle [14.2K]

since triangles are similar

4/x = 7x/7

=》 4/x = x

=》x^2 = 4

=》 x = 2

for right triangles a^2 = b^2+c^2

DF^2 = 7^2+2^2 = 53

=》 DF = 7.28

perimeter of DEF = 7 +2+7.28 = 16.28

Mrs Lim bought a number of plates at an average price of $6. She decided to buy another plate which cost $18. The average price

soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer: 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of plates bought for $6

Let y represent the Total number of plates bought = x + 1

Remember that Mrs. Lim bought another plate for $18

Total cost ÷ Total plates = Average Cost

$\dfrac{6x+18}{x+1}=8\\$

6x + 18 = 8(x + 1)

6x + 18 = 8x + 8

18 = 2x + 8

10 = 2x

5 = x

y = x + 1

= 5 + 1

= 6
