The answer is y = 3x - 2. To find slope, you subtract y2 - y1 and x2 - x1. In this case, y2 - y1 = 10 - 4 and x2 - x1 = 4 - 2. You would result in 6/2, which can be reduced to 3. Your slope is 3, so the first and second answer automatically are eliminated. Next, you could either draw it out on a coordinate plane or just visualize it. The starting point that goes through each line would be -2, which means D, or y = 3x - 2, is the correct answer.
I'm in seventh grade. I haven't learned that yet.
try asking your teacher.
Infinitely many solutions means that you have the same thing on both sides of the equation no matter what value of x you plug in, right?
We just need both sides to be 3x then, correct?
If a were equal to 3 and b were equal to 0, we'd have
3x = (3)x + 0
Which is essentially 3x = 3x
So that means a = 3 and b = 0 must work!
Let's say x = 5
3(5) = 3(5) + 0
15 = 15 + 0
15 = 15
That means that a = 3 and b = 0 is your final answer :)
C, you must be older than 16 to get a driver's license.
I believe the answer is C. It doesn't make sense to drop an object from -16 feet, and it doesn't make sense to have a -120 in the equation. It should be positive for it to come out right.
