Answer:

3x-4y=-40

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

We're given the equation of the line, y-4=3/4(x+8) in point-slope form (y-y_{1}=m(x-x_{1}), where (x_{1},y_{1}) is a point and m is the slope)

We need to convert y-4=3/4(x+8) into standard form (ax+by=c, where a, b, and c are integer coefficients; a CANNOT be 0, and CANNOT be negative).

So we need to get y-4=3/4(x+8) out of point-slope form

We can do this by converting the equation into slope-intercept form, which is y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

to do this, we need to isolate y by itself in the equation

first, do the distributive property and distribute 3/4 on the right side

y-4=3/4x+6

add 4 to both sides

y=3/4x+10

now the equation is in slope-intercept form, but remember, we want it in standard form

x and y are on the same side in standard form, so let's subtract 3/4 x from both sides

-3/4x+y=10

however we aren't done; in standard form, the coefficients need to be integers (whole numbers), and a (the coefficient in front of x) CANNOT be negative

so let's multiply both sides by -4 to clear the fraction and change the sign of a

-4(-3/4x+y)=-4(10)

do the distributive property

<u>3x-4y=-40</u>

Hope this helps! :)

If f(x) varies directly with x and f(x)=40 when x=8, find the value of f(x) when x=2.
melamori03 [73]

f(x)=40

x=8

so if x=2 it would be 40/8 which is 5

A baker can make 120 cupcakes in 2 hours. At that rate, how many cupcakes can he make in 3.5 hours? *
Valentin [98]

Answer:

210

Step-by-step explanation:

first I took 120 and divided by four to show how many cupcakes he can make in thirty minutes (.5 of an hour). this was 30. the reason we divided by four is because in two hours theres four halves.

120÷4=30 for half an hour

30x2=60 this is how many cupcakes he can make in one hour

since we already know how many he makes in two hours we're going to use that

120+60=180 (three hours)

120+60=180 (three hours)180+30 (half an hour) =210
