Answer:
You could use a graphing calculator to see the lowest point in the graph OR you could put that equation into it's completed squared form, which is (x-4)^2 -4. The opposite of -4 in the parentheses is positive 4, and the leftover -4 is the y value. So that also becomes (4,-4)
Y= 4/5 x + 24
To find the rate of change you find the difference in each of the numbers on the graph. For example, 36-32 is 4. So 28-4 is 24 and that would be the next number down. It would also match x to be 0 because since the rate of change for x was 5, if you subtract 5 from 5 you get 0. So from this we know that the coordinates would be 0,5.
From this info, the slope would be 4/5 and the y intercept or initial value would be 24
The value of "b" is the y-intercept.
In order to figure out slope-intercept form you need 1 coordinate and the slope.
1) Find the slope, using the 2-point slope formula: "m= y2-y1 / x2-x1".
ex. m= -5 - 3 / -4 - -6 (simplify)---> m= -4
2) Fill in the blanks for point-slope formula: "y - y1 = m (x - x1)"
(choose one coordinate, it doesn't matter which one)
ex. y - -5 = -4 (x - -4)
3) Then use basic algebra to simplify.
Answer:
Isolate the variable by dividing each side by factors that don't contain the variable.
M = 0.65146579
t=0
simplified = M ( t ) = 0.65146579 t
