Answer:

y=3/2x-7

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation of the line for slope-intercept form is y=mx+b, where  m is the slope and b is the y intercept.

we are given two points: (4,-1) and (8,5)

the equation for slope is (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

label the points:

x1=4

y1=-1

x2=8

y2=5

now substitute into the equation:

m=(5--1)/(8-4)

m=6/4

m=3/2

the slope of the line is 3/2

here is our equation so far:

y=3/2x+b

we need to find b

since the equation will pass through the points, we can substitute either one into the equation to find b

let's use (4,-1) as an example

substitute into the equation

-1=3/2(4)+b

-1=6+b

-7=b

the y intercept is -7

so the equation is y=3/2x-7

hope this helps!

The two triangles will be similar (same shape, and each side of one triangle the same multiple of the corresponding side of the other triangle), but not necessarily the same size.

The key word here is "similar;" be sure you understand what that means in trig.

VikaD [51]
1 and 3/12 all together
Convert ethans into 8/12
1 and 3/12- 8/12= 0.583...
0.583... is the amount Kayla sold
0.666... is amount Ethan sold
Ethan sold more
0.666...-0.583...= 0.083...
so Ethan sold 0.083 gallons more
