(6,1) , (3,4)
slope = (4 - 1) / (3 - 6) = -3/3 = -1
y = mx + b
slope(m) = -1
use either of ur points....(6,1)...x = 6 and y = 1
now sub and find b, the y int
1 = -1(6) + b
1 = -6 + b
1 + 6 = b
7 = b
so ur equation is : y = -x + 7
1,000 bows x 0.75 meters
= 750 meters
We know that Nicole is making 1,000 bows and that each bow requires 0.75 m of a piece of ribbon. Therefore, we can multiply the number of bows by the length needed to make each bow in order to determine the total meters of ribbon needed to make all the bows - it's like adding 0.75 meters a thousand times for each bow. When multiplying, you get a product of 750 meters.
