The equation is:
y
=

x

13

Explanation:
The slope-intercept form of a straight line is
y
=
m
x
+
c

In this case we have a point,
(
x
,
y
)
and the slope,
m
so all we need is a value for
c
.
Substitute into
y
=
m
x

Answer:

y= 1  1/4x -1

Step-by-step explanation:

first, plot the point (8,9)

now lets plot some more points, points that are part of this line.

rise/run 5/4, so 5 up and 4 to the right, and a point on the left, 5 down 4 to the left. I'll do that again, 5 down and 4 to the left. In other problems, do this until you find the y intercept. (which ended up being (0,-1)

slope-intercept form is mx+b

m is the slope, b is the y-intercept

in this case b is -1

the y-intercept coordinate will always have the x value being 0 so it would be (0, varies) which in this case it is (0, -1)

now lets find the value of m.

since the slope, 5/4, can not be simplified to a whole number, it'll just be 1  1/4.

m ends up being 1  1/4.

fill it in, now.

y= 1  1/4x -1

-----------------

the process to find an equation knowing only a point and the slope for future reference:

plot the points until you find a y intercept (sometimes you have to make a line and find a fraction for a y intercept)

simplify the slope

fill it into mx+b

m=slope

b= y-intercept

hopefully this was helpful

Find the new price after the markdown given. Round to the nearest cent if necessary. $5,250 marked down 15%
PIT_PIT [208]

Marked down 15% means the new price would be 85% of the original price ( 100%-15% - 85%)

Multiply the original price by 85%:

5250 x 0.85 = 4462.50

The new price is $4,462.50

Answer:

d = 2.54951

Step-by-step explanation:

For:

(X1, Y1) = (4, 2)

(X2, Y2) = (4.5, 4.5)

d = \sqrt {(4.5 - 4)^2 + (4.5 - 2)^2}

What are the zeros of f(x) = x^2 + x - 20?
kvv77 [185]
X² + x - 20
= (x+5)(x-4)

x + 5 = 0
x = -5

x - 4 = 0
x = 4

hence the answer is C
