Write in y=mx+b form

Mathematics
1 answer:
MA_775_DIABLO [31]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

y = -2/3x

Step-by-step explanation:

To write in y=mx+b form, you need the y-intercept (b) and the slope (m).

The y-intercept is the point the line crosses the y-axis.  This line crosses the y-axis of (0, 0).  This makes the y-intercept equal to 0.

The slope is the rise of the line over the run of the line.  Pick two points from the line.  It doesn't matter which ones, you will get the right answer regardless.  

I picked (0, 0) and (-3, 2).  Subtract the x-values from each other, and subtract the y-values from each other.

-3 - 0 = -3  (x)

2 - 0 = 2  (y)

Divide the y by the x to find the slope.

2/-3 = -2/3

Plug in the slope and y-intercept into the equation.

y = mx + b

y = -2/3x + 0

y = -2/3x

Seth earns 152 in 4 days. At that rate how many days will it take him to earn 532
djverab [1.8K]
Please use $ signs when discussing US currency.  

<span>$152 in 4 days. At that rate how many days will it take him to earn $532

One way to solve this is to set up and solve an equation of ratios:

 $152         $532
---------- = ---------
4 days           x
                                                2128
Then 152x = 4(532), and  x = ---------- = 14.  It'll take Seth 14 days to earn                                                                             $532.
                                                  152</span>
