draw in the line, here are the points
So in 10 days the grasshopper (x) is doubled (2x)
20 days it is 2(2x) or 4x
30 days it is 2(4x) or 8x
in 35 days it is 1/2 of 10 so 1/2 times 2 times 8x=8x
it increased by a factor of 8
You can take the first point as the origin O(0,0) and the second one (-2,0.5) for easier calculations.
Find the slope, m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
= -2-0 / -0.5-0 = 2/0.5 = 4
now take (x,y) = (0,0) and m= 4
use the point slope form
(y - y1) = m(x - x1)
(y - 0) = (4)(x - 0) ......taking (x1,y1) = (0,0)
y = 4x + 0 ...... in the form of y = mx + b
I hope I was helpful:)
In normal line integration, from what I understand, you are measuring the area underneath (,)
f
(
x
,
y
)
along a curve in the -
x
-
y
plane from point
a
to point
b
.
