Answer:

y=-5x+2

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

<u>What we need to know:</u>

  • Slope-intercept form: y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept (the value of y when x is 0)

<u>1) Determine the slope (m)</u>

<u />m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} where two points that the line passes through are (x_1,y_1) and (x_2,y_2)

Plug in the given points (1,-3) and (-3,17)

=\frac{17-(-3)}{-3-1}\\=\frac{17+3}{-3-1}\\=\frac{20}{-4}\\=-5

Therefore the slope of the line is -5. Plug this into y=mx+b:

y=-5x+b

<u>2) Determine the y-intercept (b)</u>

y=-5x+b

Plug in one of the given points and solve for b

-3=-5(1)+b\\-3=-5+b

Add 5 to both sides of the equation to isolate b

-3+5=-5+b+5\\2=b

Therefore, the y-intercept of the equation is 2. Plug this back into y=-5x+b:

y=-5x+2

I hope this helps!

a taco stand sells tacos for $3.25 each. the stand's expenses for the day are $210. definec your variables and write an inequali
AlekseyPX

Okay, we know that the expenses for the day is 210.

Knowing this, and the price of the taco, we write the inequality:

3.25t > 210

t = number of tacos

Now divide both sides by 3.25:

t > 64.62 (rounded)

Because a taco stand can't sell a fraction of a taco, we know that the taco stand has to sell more than 65 tacos for a profit.

Find the slope (m) and the y-intercept (b) of the given line on the graph.
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

Slope: 1; Y-int: (0,2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope is rise over run, the equation is y two minus y one divided by x two minus x one.

(3-2) / (1-0) = 1

The y-int. is where the line crosses the y-axis, or the x value is 0.

Hope this helps :)
