Answer:  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.

Use the coordinates given to calculate the slope, then rewrite the equation with any of the given coordinates.

The attachment shows the graph of this equation

Step-by-step explanation:

For example, Given coordinate points: ​(4​,4​) and ​(5​,7​)

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."

Substitute values:

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

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: (5,7)

y - 7 = 3(x - 5)

Or using the first coordinate it would be

y - 4 = 3(x-4)

The slope intercept form of this equation is

y = 3x - 8

Answer:

You use rise over run (rise/run) which is the x and y coordinates. You count how many to the going up or down then you count left to right. Hope this is useful of helpful! :)

The actual length (L) of a rectangle is 27 centimeters. Use the scale drawing of the rectangle to find the actual width (W).
Dominik [7]
The ratio of the length to the width is \rm \dfrac{L}{W}.
The ratio of the sides will be the same for the scale and actual figures.

\rm \dfrac{2.4}{3.6}=\dfrac{27}{W}

I took the L/W of the scale figure
and set it equal to the L/W of the actual figure.

Now we can solve for the unknown width.
Cross-multiplication gives us this,

\rm 2.4W=3.6\cdot27

Divide by 2.4 and simplify,

\rm W=40.5

Hope that helps! :)
