What is the standard form equation of the line shown below? Graph of a line going through negative 1, 5 and 2, 4

Mathematics
1 answer:
natima [27]3 years ago

Answer:

y = -1/3x + 14/3

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the standard equation as;

y = mx + b

where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

the given points are;

(-1,5) and (2,4)

So we plug x and y for each of the points

then we create two linear equations which we can solve simultaneously to get the values of m and b

From the points;

5 = -m + b•••••••(i)

4 = 2m + b

from i;

b = 5 + m

substitute this into equation ii

4 = 2m + 5 + m

4 = 3m + 5

4-5 = 3m

3m = -1

m = -1/3

Recall;

b = 5 + m

b = 5-1/3

b = 14/3

so we have the equation as;

y = -1/3x + 14/3

Multiply through by 3

3y = -x + 14

Determine where to place the decimal point in the dividend and divisor so that the quotient is between 23 and 25
timama [110]

Answer:

Place the decimal before the last digit in both number i.e. 1602.3 and 65.4

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the numerical expression 16023÷654.

Here, we have,

Dividend = 16023

Divisor = 654

it is required that the quotient of the division to be between 23 and 25.

If we take the numbers,

1602.3 and 65.4

This gives us,

\frac{1602.3}{65.4}=24.5.

Hence, placing the decimal before the last digit in both number will give the desired result.

Answer:

6:7

Step-by-step explanation:

A ratio is written as x:y where x and y are numbers in there most simplified form. In the ratio 24:28 both numbers are divisible by four, so divide each side by four and you have your answer.

Write the following sentence into an expression using x as your variable: Myrna and Tom collect stamps. Tom has four more than h
balandron [24]

Answer: f(x) = x/2 + 4.

where f(x) is the number of stamps that Tom has, and x is the number of stamps that Myrna has.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement is:

"Tom has four more than half the stamps that Myrna has"

For how is written, we can model the number of stamps that Tom has as a function f(x).

f(x) represents the number of stamps that Tom has, and x is the number of stamps that Myrna has.

Then:

"four more than a number" is written as:

N + 4 (where N is the number)

"Half the stamps that Myrna has" is written as:

x/2.

Then the whole statement can be modeled as:

f(x) = x/2 + 4.

notice that we have x/2, and f(x) must be a whole number, so Myrna must have an even number of stamps (in that case x/2 will be integer)

(PLEASE HELP) A contractor has 10 lots for sale to build on. 4 lots are greater than two acres. 6 lots are less than two acres.
charle [14.2K]
Probability that the first lot sold will be less than two acres = number of lots less than two acres / total number of lots = 6/10 = 3/5
 
Probability that the second lot sold will be less than two acres = remaining number of lots less than two acres / remaining total number of lots = 5/9

Required probability = 3/5 x 5/9 = 15/45 = 1/3
