Write a function in the form y=mx+b for the line that contains the points (-6.4, -2.6) and (5.2, 9)

1 answer:

7 0

First solve for the slope, m using the two points given. It doesn't matter which point you choose as point 1 or 2 as long as you're consistent.

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

point 1: (–6.4, –2.6)

point 2: (5.2, 9)

m = (9 - -2.6)/(5.2 - -6.4)
m = (9 + 2.6)/(5.2 + 6.4)
m = 11.6/11.6
m = 1

put the newly found slope into the linear equation for m

y = (1)x + b
y = x + b

Now solve for the y-intercept, b
by putting one of the given points

9 = 5.2 + b

b = 9 - 5.2
b = 3.8

final equation:

y = x + 3.8

8. Which of these is not an integer 6 6 A 3 C E 3

Mnenie [13.5K]

An integer is a whole number.

The answer isn't A, because 6/3=2 and 2 is a whole number.

The answer isn't C, because 6/2=3, and 3 is a whole number.

The answer therefore has to be B, because 3/6=1/2 and 1/2 isn't a whole number or an integer.

Quadrilateral ABCD with vertices A(0, 6), B(-3, -6), C(-9, -6), and D(-12, -3): a) dilation with scale factor of 1/3 centered at

Oksanka [162]

a) The points of the new quadrillateral are $A'(x,y) = (0, 2)$ , $B'(x,y) = (-1, -2)$ , $C'(x,y) = \left(-3,-2\right)$ and $D'(x,y) = (-4, -1)$ , respectively.

b) The points of the new quadrillateral are $A'(x,y) = (-5, 5)$ , $B'(x,y) = (-8,-7)$ , $C'(x,y) = (-13, -7)$ and $D'(x,y) = (-17, -4)$ , respectively.

<h3>How to perform transformations with points</h3>

a) A dillation centered at the origin is defined by following operation:

$P'(x,y) = k\cdot P(x,y)$ (1)

Where:

$P(x,y)$ - Original point
$P'(x,y)$ - Dilated point.

If we know that $k = \frac{1}{3}$ , $A(x,y) = (0,6)$ , $B(x,y) = (-3,-6)$ , $C(x,y) = (-9, -6)$ and $D(x,y) = (-12, -3)$ , then the new points of the quadrilateral are:

$A'(x,y) = \frac{1}{3}\cdot (0,6)$

$A'(x,y) = (0, 2)$

$B'(x,y) = \frac{1}{3} \cdot (-3,-6)$

$B'(x,y) = (-1, -2)$

$C'(x,y) = \frac{1}{3}\cdot (-9,-6)$

$C'(x,y) = \left(-3,-2\right)$

$D'(x,y) = \frac{1}{3}\cdot (-12,-3)$

$D'(x,y) = (-4, -1)$

The points of the new quadrillateral are $A'(x,y) = (0, 2)$ , $B'(x,y) = (-1, -2)$ , $C'(x,y) = \left(-3,-2\right)$ and $D'(x,y) = (-4, -1)$ , respectively. $\blacksquare$

b) A translation along a vector is defined by following operation:

$P'(x,y) = P(x,y) +T(x,y)$ (2)

Where $T(x,y)$ is the transformation vector.

If we know that $T(x,y) = (-5,-1)$ , $A(x,y) = (0,6)$ , $B(x,y) = (-3,-6)$ , $C(x,y) = (-9, -6)$ and $D(x,y) = (-12, -3)$ ,

$A'(x,y) = (0,6) + (-5, -1)$

$A'(x,y) = (-5, 5)$

$B'(x,y) = (-3, -6) + (-5, -1)$

$B'(x,y) = (-8,-7)$

$C'(x,y) = (-9, -6) + (-5, -1)$

$C'(x,y) = (-13, -7)$

$D'(x,y) = (-12,-3)+(-5,-1)$

$D'(x,y) = (-17, -4)$

The points of the new quadrillateral are $A'(x,y) = (-5, 5)$ , $B'(x,y) = (-8,-7)$ , $C'(x,y) = (-13, -7)$ and $D'(x,y) = (-17, -4)$ , respectively. $\blacksquare$

emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this you just do 14 - 52 then you get 38. Make sure to check your work. 38 + 14 = 52.

Help me asap ok thanks

Answer: total profit = $418

======================================================

Work Shown:

June

Income = (4 lawns)*($27 per lawn) = $108

Expenses = ($32 for gas)+($12 for trim line) = $44

Profit = income - expenses = 108-44 = $64

----------------------------

July

Income = (12 lawns)*($20 per lawn) = $240

Expenses = ($89 for gas)+($29 for blade sharpening) = $118

Profit = income - expenses = 240 - 89 = $151

----------------------------

August

Income = (16 lawns)*($20 per lawn) = $320

Expenses = ($101 for gas)+($16 for oil) = $117

Profit = income - expenses = 320-117 = $203

----------------------------

Total profit = (june profit)+(july profit)+(august profit)

Total profit = (64) + (151) + (203)

Total profit = $418

If the final result was negative, then we would call this a loss. However, we have a positive value, so we go with a profit.
