<h2>Answer:</h2><h3>x = -9</h3>

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

<h3><u>Step 1</u>: Simplify both sides of the equation.</h3><h3 /><h3>1/3x+1=−2</h3><h3 /><h3><u>Step 2</u>: Subtract 1 from both sides.</h3><h3 /><h3>1/3x+1−1=−2−1</h3><h3 /><h3>1/3x=−3</h3><h3 /><h3><u>Step 3</u>: Multiply both sides by 3.</h3><h3 /><h3>3*(1/3x)=(3)*(−3)</h3><h3 /><h3>x=−9</h3>

Learning Task 3. Find the equation of the line. Do it in your notebook.

Wewaii [24]

Answer:

1) The equation of the line in slope-intercept form is $y = 5\cdot x +9$ . The equation of the line in standard form is $-5\cdot x + y = 9$ .

2) The equation of the line in slope-intercept form is $y = \frac{2}{5}\cdot x +\frac{14}{5}$ . The equation of the line in standard form is $-2\cdot x +5\cdot y = 14$ .

3) The equation of the line in slope-intercept form is $y = 3\cdot x +4$ . The equation of the line in standard form is $-3\cdot x +y = 4$ .

4) The equation of the line in slope-intercept form is $y = 2\cdot x + 6$ . The equation of the line in standard form is $-2\cdot x +y = 6$ .

5) The equation of the line in slope-intercept form is $y = \frac{5}{6}\cdot x -\frac{7}{6}$ . The equation of the line in standard from is $-5\cdot x + 6\cdot y = -7$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

1) We begin with the slope-intercept form and substitute all known values and calculate the y-intercept: ( $m = 5$ , $x = -1$ , $y = 4$ )

$4 = (5)\cdot (-1)+b$

$4 = -5 +b$

$b = 9$

The equation of the line in slope-intercept form is $y = 5\cdot x +9$ .

Then, we obtain the standard form by algebraic handling:

$-5\cdot x + y = 9$

The equation of the line in standard form is $-5\cdot x + y = 9$ .

2) We begin with a system of linear equations based on the slope-intercept form: ( $x_{1} = 3$ , $y_{1} = 4$ , $x_{2} = -2$ , $y_{2} = 2$ )

$3\cdot m + b = 4$ (Eq. 1)

$-2\cdot m + b = 2$ (Eq. 2)

From (Eq. 1), we find that:

$b = 4-3\cdot m$

And by substituting on (Eq. 2), we conclude that slope of the equation of the line is:

$-2\cdot m +4-3\cdot m = 2$

$-5\cdot m = -2$

$m = \frac{2}{5}$

And from (Eq. 1) we find that the y-Intercept is:

$b=4-3\cdot \left(\frac{2}{5} \right)$

$b = 4-\frac{6}{5}$

$b = \frac{14}{5}$

The equation of the line in slope-intercept form is $y = \frac{2}{5}\cdot x +\frac{14}{5}$ .

Then, we obtain the standard form by algebraic handling:

$-\frac{2}{5}\cdot x +y = \frac{14}{5}$

$-2\cdot x +5\cdot y = 14$

The equation of the line in standard form is $-2\cdot x +5\cdot y = 14$ .

3) By using the slope-intercept form, we obtain the equation of the line by direct substitution: ( $m = 3$ , $b = 4$ )

$y = 3\cdot x +4$

The equation of the line in slope-intercept form is $y = 3\cdot x +4$ .

Then, we obtain the standard form by algebraic handling:

$-3\cdot x +y = 4$

The equation of the line in standard form is $-3\cdot x +y = 4$ .

4) We begin with a system of linear equations based on the slope-intercept form: ( $x_{1} = -3$ , $y_{1} = 0$ , $x_{2} = 0$ , $y_{2} = 6$ )

$-3\cdot m + b = 0$ (Eq. 3)

$b = 6$ (Eq. 4)

By applying (Eq. 4) on (Eq. 3), we find that the slope of the equation of the line is:

$-3\cdot m+6 = 0$

$3\cdot m = 6$

$m = 2$

The equation of the line in slope-intercept form is $y = 2\cdot x + 6$ .

Then, we obtain the standard form by algebraic handling:

$-2\cdot x +y = 6$

The equation of the line in standard form is $-2\cdot x +y = 6$ .

5) We begin with a system of linear equations based on the slope-intercept form: ( $x_{1} = -1$ , $y_{1} = -2$ , $x_{2} = 5$ , $y_{2} = 3$ )

$-m+b = -2$ (Eq. 5)

$5\cdot m +b = 3$ (Eq. 6)

From (Eq. 5), we find that:

$b = -2+m$

And by substituting on (Eq. 6), we conclude that slope of the equation of the line is:

$5\cdot m -2+m = 3$

$6\cdot m = 5$

$m = \frac{5}{6}$

And from (Eq. 5) we find that the y-Intercept is:

$b = -2+\frac{5}{6}$

$b = -\frac{7}{6}$

The equation of the line in slope-intercept form is $y = \frac{5}{6}\cdot x -\frac{7}{6}$ .

Then, we obtain the standard form by algebraic handling:

$-\frac{5}{6}\cdot x +y =-\frac{7}{6}$

$-5\cdot x + 6\cdot y = -7$

The equation of the line in standard from is $-5\cdot x + 6\cdot y = -7$ .

Rashida brought three tickets to a concert for $75 at this rate how much would 5 tickets cost

Wittaler [7]

In order for you to understand this question you have to know what the unit rate is. In order to find it you divide 75 by 3 which is 25 so you know that 1 ticket will cost 25$ so then you multiply that 25 times 5 to get your final answer which is 125.
