Think: To write the equation of a line in slope-intercept form y=mx+b, you must have the slope (m) and the y-intercept (b).
g(0)= -6 tells us that the y-intercept is (0, -6). Thus, b= -6.
(0,-6) and (15,-9) are points on the line. Find the slope of the line. It is:
-9-(-6)
m = ------------- = -3/15 = -1/5
15-0
Thus, the equation of the line in question is y=(-1/5)x - 6.
Important that you understand that g(0)=-6 is also represented by (0,-6), and that -6 is the y-intercept.
In order to find the answer of the given problem above, we need to make the solution below:
Given: 2/3 of an hour = practice each day
2/3 of an hour is equivalent to 40 minutes
And per week, there are 7 days. So we will multiply 40 minutes by 7, and the result is 280 minutes. Since there are 60 minutes in an hour, we divide 280 by 60 and we get 4.67 hours. Therefore, each week, you would get 4.67 hours of practice on playing a musical instrument.
Answer:
(-5, 3)
Step-by-step explanation:
B = 2M - A
B = 2(-2, 5) -(1, 7) = (-4-1, 10-7) = (-5, 3)
