Answer:

4:1

Step-by-step explanation:

a — b = 3

then a= 3+b

a + b = 5

3+b +b = 5

3+2b=5

2b=5-3

2b=2

b=1

a= 3+b

a=3+1=4

a:b= 4:1

What is the equation of this graphed line?

Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

Slope Intercept form of the equation is $y = \frac{1}{3} x - 9$

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the two point line are given as is A(-6,-3) and B(6,-7)

The slope of the line AB = $m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

$m = \frac{-7-(-3)}{6-(-6)} = \frac{-7 + 3}{6 + 6} = \frac{4}{12} \\\implies m = \frac{1}{3}$

⇒ the slope of AB is m = (4/3)

By SLOPE INTERCEPT FORMULA:

The equation of a line with slope m and a point (x0, y0) is given as

(y-y0)= m (x-x0)

⇒ The equation of line with point (6,-7) is:

$y + 7 = \frac{1}{3} (x-6) \implies 3y + 21 - x + 6 - 0\\or, -x + 3y + 27 = 0$

Now, the given equation is -x + 3y = -27

Convert it in the SLOPE INTERCEPT FORM y = mx + c

We get, 3y = x - 27

or, $y = \frac{1}{3} x - \frac{27}{3} \\\implies y = \frac{1}{3} x - 9$

Hence, the Slope Intercept form of the equation is $y = \frac{1}{3} x - 9$

Aaron has a loan of 1250£ He pays simple intrest 0.5% per month for eight months Calculate the total amount of interest Aaron pa

Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer: 50 Pounds

Explanation: First we need to find out how much 0.5% of 1250 is. 0.5% of 1250 is 6.25£. Since that’s per month, and Aaron pays interest for 8 months, we multiply by 8. So 6.25 times 8 is 50.
