What is an equation of the line that passes through the points (4,-1) and (8,5)?

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!

PLEASE HELP IVE POSTED THIS AND NO RESPONSE YET ! It’s an exam
solmaris [256]

Answer: 262,000? I'm just guessing

Step-by-step explanation:

one product costs $14 to produce. It is mentioned that you need to produce 14,000 products or items, so you multiply 14 by 14,000 to know the total cost of producing 14,000 items or products, the answer is 196,000, remember there is also a start-up cost of 66,000. So you must add 196,000 to 66,000 which leads to 262,000. Hope this helps :)

Determine if true:<br> 1y+8y+10y=20y
diamong [38]

Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

1+8=9

9+10=19

1y+8y=9y

9y+10y=19y

19y=20y

The equations dont match.

Hence, the equation is false.
