Answer:

y = 3/2x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for a linear line is y=mx+c:

  • m = gradient
  • c = y intercept

<u>FINDING OUT THE GRADIENT (m)</u>

The gradient can be found out by using this formula:

change in y / change in x ---> y2-y1/x2-x1

Therefore, we can substitute in the values from the given coordinates. Assuming (4,1) is coordinate point 1 and (6,4) is coordinate point 2, we substitute in the values as so:

(4-1)/(6-4) --> 3/2 (or 1.5, but it is always better to leave as a fraction in maths)

We now know our value for m is 3/2 or 1.5.

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

<u>FINDING OUT THE Y INTERCEPT (c)</u>

Now we must find the value of c. This is very simple now since we know the gradient. I don't know a more mathematical way of doing this, but the easiest way I can think of is just going down by the value of the gradient each time (1.5 or 3/2, in this scenario 1.5 is probably easier to use). We know as the x value decreases by 1, the y value decreases by 1.5 (or if x increases, y increases by 1.5).

If you want to use whole numbers rather than decimals, when the x value increases (or decreases) by 2, the y value increases (or decreases) by 3 (1.5*2=3). So, now we just work out what the y intercept is by finding out what y would be when the x coordinate is 0. So:

If y is 1 when x is 4 (4,1), then if x=2, y would be 1-3=-2 (2,-2).

If x=0, y would be -2-3=5 (0,-5).

This is the point where the line intercepts the y axis. We now know our value for c is -5.

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

Now we simply just substitute our values into the equation. So:

y = mx + c

If m=3/2 and c=-5, then:

y = 3/2x - 5

Adding integers<br><br> (+6)+(+2)
noname [10]

Answer:

6 + 2=8 \\so... +2 + +6 = +8\\

Step-by-step explanation:

So the thing about adding of integers is that is both nos. are positive then you can simply add it and same with negative too.But with negative and positive we should subtract but that is for later.Luckily we have 2 positive integers so we do it like this:

+6 is the same as 6 and +2 is the same as 2 so we...

  rule:add the numbers and add the sign.

6 + 2=8\\so... +2 + +6 = +8

If r=10 and s=31 find R. Round to the nearest tenth
Vsevolod [243]

Answer: option c.

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to remember the identity:

tan\alpha=\frac{opposite}{adjacent}

The inverse of the tangent function is arctangent. You need to use this to calculate the angle "R":

 \alpha =arctan(\frac{opposite}{adjacent})

You know that you need to find the measure of "R" and r=10 (which is the opposite side) and s=31 (which is the adjacent side), you can sustitute values into \alpha =arctan(\frac{opposite}{adjacent})

Then, you get:

R=arctan(\frac{10}{31})\\\\R=17.9\°

The cost of renting ice skates at a skating rink is $1.25. The rink charges $3.25 for each hour, x, of skating. Which graph best
posledela

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the total cost at first will not be 5 exactly, it will turn to 4.5 (4.50). And it will be just below the five, at the first hour. And then from there, just add 3.25 each hour and forget about the 1.25 since 1.25 is used for the beginning only, and not the rest.
