Answer: y=3x+1

Step-by-step explanation:

First find slope using formula

m= y2–y1/x2–x1

m= 4– (—2)/ 1— (—1)

m= 3

So,

y= mx+b

y=3x+b. Using (1,4) plug into equation of a line

4= 3(1)+b

4 – 3= b

1= b. So,

y=3x+1

Answer:

y= 3x+1.

Step-by-step explanation:

(-1,-2) and (1,4)

x1 = -1

x2= 1

y1= -2

y2=4

y - y1= (y2 - y1)

______ ( x - x1)

(x2 - x1)

y- (-2)=(4-(-2))

_____ (x- (-1))

(1-(-1))

y+2= 4+2

___ (x+1)

1+1

y+2= 6

_ (x + 1)

y+2=3(x+1)

y+2=3x+3

y=3x+1.

lukranit [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked to find the value of A. We know from the question that we need to have the sum of -3x and (A)x equal the third term of the original polynomial, which is 2x. written out in an equation, it looks like this.

$-3x+(A)x=2x$

We can simplify the equation if we add 3x to both sides, which then leaves us with this.

$(A)x=5x$

We can further simplify the equation by dividing both sides by x. This leaves us with our last equation for this problem.

$A=5$

Finally, we have our answer. We can also verify that this is a valid integer by multiplying our, now completed, quotient by the divisor and adding the remainder, which in this case, our remainder is 0, so we will not be including it in our operation.

$(x+1)(2x^{2}-3x+5)$

If our calculations were all correct, the product of these polynomials should equal our dividend, verifying our integer is valid; lo' and behold, it is.

$2x^{3}-x^{2}+2x+5$

Two payment options to rent a car: You can pay $20 a day plus 25¢ a mile (Option A) or pay $10 a day plus 50¢ a mile (Option B).

BaLLatris [955]

You must drive more than 40 miles to make option A the cheaper plan

Solution:

Two payment options to rent a car

Let "x" be the number of miles driven in one day

You can pay $20 a day plus 25¢ a mile (Option A)

25 cents is equal to 0.25 dollars

OPTION A : 20 + 0.25x

You pay $10 a day plus 50¢ a mile (Option B)

50 cents equal to 0.50 dollars

Option B: 10 + 0.50x

For what amount of daily miles will option A be the cheaper plan ?

For option A to be cheaper, Option A must be less than option B

Option A < Option B

$20 + 0.25x < 10 + 0.50x$

Solve the inequality

Add -0.50x on both sides

$20 +0.25x -0.50x < 10 + 0.50x - 0.50x\\\\20 - 0.25x < 10$

Add - 20 on both sides,

$20 - 0.25x - 20 < 10 - 20\\\\-0.25x < -10$

$\mathrm{Multiply\:both\:sides\:by\:-1\:\left(reverse\:the\:inequality\right)}$

$0.25x > 10$

Divide both sides by 0.25

$x > 40$

Thus you must drive more than 40 miles to make option A the cheaper plan

Charlie wants to buy new carpet for his living room floor the floor is in the shape of a rectangle its length is 15 feet and the

sdas [7]

Answer:

135 square ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this equation, you need to find the area of this rectangle. Area is always base x height, or in this case, length x width. Now you multply your length, 15', by your width, 9', to get your answer, 135 square feet. When you multiply two measurments of the same unit together, you get square (units), which simply means that you multiplied two of the same unit of measurment together.
