Slope intercept form is y = mx + b...ur slope will be in the m position and ur y int will be in the b position
examples : slope = 2 , (1,3)....x = 1 and y = 3
y = mx + b
slope(m) = 2
(1,3)...x = 1 and y = 3
now we sub and find b, the y int
3 = 2(1) + b
3 = 2 + b
3 - 2 = b
1 = b
so in slope intercept form, ur equation is : y = 2x + 1
================
another example : slope = 3 , (-2,-4)
y = mx + b
slope(m) = 3
(-2,-4)...x = -2 and y = -4
now sub and find b, the y int
-4 = 3(-2) + b
-4 = - 6 + b
-4 + 6 = b
2 = b
so ur equation is : y = 3x + 2
Answer:
a=45 b=65
Step-by-step explanation:
You know that all the angle measures of a triangle add to 180. So the equation would be angle a + angle b + 70 = 180. Subsitute and simplify and you get 16x -2 + 70 = 180. Subtract 70 from 180 to get 16x -2=110 add 2 to get 16x =110. Divide each side by 16 to gte x=7. Subsitute x = 7 into the equations for angle a and angle b to get the answers above
Funny, this looks like a complex graph, until you realize that the numerator can be written like (x+3)(x-9).
So really, this is a straight line f(x) = x-9.
But wait, there's a catch. x≠3, because that would divide by zero. So in your straight line, you have to draw a "hole" at (3,6)
