Slope intercept form of an equation is:
y = mx + b
where m is the slope and b is the t intercept.
First you must determine the slope of the line. This is a ratio of how fast the line travels up or down vs how fast it is moving to the right. Another name for this is rise over run. The equation to find the slope is:
m = (y1 - y2) / (x1 - x2)
now to find b. We can plug in one of the points of the equation into our first equation along with the slope to get out b value.
So if our 2 points were (2, 3) and (3, 4) we could find slope intercept form like this:
m = (2 - 3) / (3 - 4)
m = -1 / -1
m = 1
Now taking point (2, 3)
3 = 1 * 2 + b
1 = b
Finally to plug our m and b into equation for answer:
y = 1x + 1
However, 1 * anything is redundant therefore:
y = x + 1
Answer:
2 4/16 = 2 1/4 lb
Step-by-step explanation:
The pointer is 4 of the smallest units above 2. There are 16 of those small units. Each 2 of those units is 1/8 pound, so when the pointer is on a multiple of 2 units, it is on a multiple of 1/8 pound. No guesswork is required to choose the correct weight to the nearest 1/8 pound.
2 4/16 = 2 1/4 lb . . . . the scale reading to the nearest 1/8 pound.
Answer:
The answer is B
Step-by-step explanation:
They will pay 46.60 a month because 460+100=560 and 560/12=46.6
<span>Let x=0.8888...
x=0.8888 Start with the given equation
10x=8.8888 Multiply both sides by 10. The goal is to move the decimal point to the next repeating portion (which is just one spot to the right)
Now subtract the equation x=0.8888 from 10x=8.8888 to get
10x-x=8.8888-0.8888
9x=8 Combine like terms. Notice how the decimal portions cancel out.
x=8/9 Divide both sides by 9 to isolate x
So the answer is x=8/9 which means that 8/9=0.8888 (where the 8's repeat)</span>
