Answer:   y - 1 = –(x –7)

or   y –5 = –1(x –3)

The attachment shows the graph of these equations (identical)

Step-by-step explanation:

The basic form for a point-slope equation is

y - b = m(x - a)

a is the x-value from the given coordinate,  b is the y-value form the given coordinate,  m is the slope. x and y are the variables in the function.

To find the slope, m, use the given coordinates. Get the difference in the y-values and divide by the difference in the x-values. This is "rise over run."

Subtract the first coordinate from the second coordinate.

Given coordinate points: ​(3​,5) and ​(7​,1)    substitute values:

m= 1 –5 / 7 –3  becomes  m= –4/4   so the slope, m = –4/4

That is –1  The "1" is "understood," so only the negative sign represents the slope  in the equation

To write the equation:  Take the basic form, substitute b and a values from either given coordinate. And use the value of m we just calculated.

y - b = m(x - a)  Using the second coordinate: (7,1)

y - 1 = –(x –7)

or using the first coordinate:

y –5 = –(x –3)

PLS HELP ASAP ILL GIVE BRAINLKEST PLS THANKS
Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

6 and 28

Step-by-step explanation:

Question 8: Since the sum is atmost 16, the largest possible value of the number is available when the sum is 16. Then, we have 2x + 4 = 16, and that equals 2x = 12, which leads to x = 6.

Question 9. Since your bank value has to be above 525, and 814 dollars keep decreasing 10 each day, we know that it will stop at 534, because having 524 dollars will be below 525. Now, 814 - 534 = 280, and since you pay 10 every day, 280/18 = 28 days.

Answer this equation
Rudik [331]

Answer:

The solution to the box is

a = 2.1

b = 5.9

c = 0.9

d = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer the equation, we simply name the boxes a,b,c and d.

Such that

a + b = 8 ---- (1)

b - c = 5 ------ (2)

d * c = 9 ------ (3)

a * d = 21 ------- (4)

Make d the subject of formula in (3)

d * c = 9 ---- Divide both sides by c

d * c/c = 9/c

d = 9/c

Substitute 9/c for d in (4)

a * d = 21

a * 9/c = 21

Multiply both sides by c

a * 9/c * c = 21 * c

a * 9 = 21 * c

9a = 21c ------ (5)

Make b the subject of formula in (1)

a + b = 8

b = 8 - a

Substitute 8 - a for b in (2)

b - c = 5

8 - a - c = 5

Collect like terms

-a - c = 5 - 8

-a - c = -3

Multiply both sides by -1

-1(-a - c) = -1 * -3

a + c = 3

Make a the subject of formula

a = 3 - c

Substitute 3 - c for a in (5)

9a = 21c becomes

9(3 - c) = 21c

Open bracket

27 - 9c = 21c

Collect like terms

27 = 21c + 9c

27 = 30c

Divide both sides by 30

27/30 = 30c/30

27/30 = c

0.9 = c

c = 0.9

Recall that a = 3 - c

So, a = 3 - 0.9

a = 2.1

From (1)

a + b = 8

2.1 + b = 8

b = 8 - 2.1

b = 5.9

From (3)

d * c = 9

Substitute 0.9 for c

d * 0.9 = 9

Divide both sides by 0.9

d * 0.9/0.9 = 9/0.9

d = 9/0.9

d = 10.

Hence, the solution to the box is

a = 2.1

b = 5.9

c = 0.9

d = 10
