Slope intercepf is y=mx+b wherem=slope and b= y intercept
slope is found by doing
(y1-y2)/(x1-x2)
points are (6,-1) and (-3,2)
(x,y)
x1=6
y1=-1
x2=-3
y2=2
subsitute
(-1-2)/(6-(-2))=-3/(6+2)=-3/8
slope=-3/8
subsitute
y=-3/8x+b
subsitute and solve for b
(-3,2)
x=-3
y=2
2=-3/8(-3)+b
2=9/8+b
2=16/8
subtract 9/8 from both sides
16/8-9/8=b
7/8=b
y=-3/9x+7/8 is the equation
Answer: (4, -9)
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Use elimination method. Manipulate one (or both) equations to eliminate one of the variables and solve for the remaining variable. <em>I will be eliminating y</em>
6x + y = 15 → 2(6x + y = 15) → 12x + 2y = 30
-7x - 2y = -10 → 1(-7x + 2y = -10) → <u> -7x - 2y = -10</u>
5x = 20
x = 4
Next, replace "x" with "4" into either equation and solve for y.
6(4) + y = 15
24 + y = 15
y = -9
<u>Check:</u>
Plug in x = 4 and y = -9 into the other equation to verify it makes a true statement.
-7x - 2y = -10
-7(4) - 2(-9) = -10
-28 - -18 = -10
-28 + 18 = -10
-10 = -10 
Answer:
Length = 4 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(length + width)
If x = 2
Perimeter = 8x - 4
= 8(2) - 4
= 16 - 4
= 12 inches
Width = 3x - 4
= 3(2) - 4
= 6 - 4
= 2 inches
Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(length + width)
12 = 2(length + 2)
12 = 2length + 4
12 - 4 = 2 length
8 = 2 length
Length = 8/2
Length = 4 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
so, we find the slope-intercept form :
y = ax + b
"a" is the slope (it is always the factor of x), "b" is the y-intercept (the y-value when x = 0).
we have the slope : -6
and the given point (0, -10) gives us already the y-value when x = 0 : -10
therefore, the equation is
y = -6x - 10
Answer:
x>=0
Step-by-step explanation:
From the equation, we can see that x must be greater or equal to 0. This is true because every answer to an absolute value is positive or equal to 0. That is your answer.
