Slope Formula: $m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Point (2, 6)

Point (1, 9)

Step 2: Find slope m

Substitute: $m=\frac{9-6}{1-2}$
Subtract: $m=\frac{3}{-1}$
Divide: $m=-3$

Answer:

-3

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for the slope is the change in y/ the change x.

In order to find the change in y we have to subtract the second y (9) by the first y(6) and do the same for x.

That will be (9 - 6)/(1 - 2) = 3/-1 = -3

Slope is -3

Given:

The equation is,

$2\log _3x-\log _3(x-2)=2$

Explanation:

Simplify the equation by using logarthimic property.

$\begin{gathered} 2\log _3x-\log _3(x-2)=2 \\ \log _3x^2-\log _3(x-2)=2_{}\text{ \lbrack{}log(a)-log(b) = log(a/b)\rbrack} \\ \log _3\lbrack\frac{x^2}{x-2}\rbrack=2 \end{gathered}$

Simplify further.

$\begin{gathered} \log _3\lbrack\frac{x^2}{x-2}\rbrack=2 \\ \frac{x^2}{x-2}=3^2 \\ x^2=9(x-2) \\ x^2-9x+18=0 \end{gathered}$

Solve the quadratic equation for x.

$\begin{gathered} x^2-6x-3x+18=0 \\ x(x-6)-3(x-6)=0 \\ (x-6)(x-3)=0 \end{gathered}$

From the above equation (x - 6) = 0 or (x - 3) = 0.

For (x - 6) = 0,

$\begin{gathered} x-6=0 \\ x=6 \end{gathered}$

For (x - 3) = 0,

$\begin{gathered} x-3=0 \\ x=3 \end{gathered}$

The values of x from solving the equations are x = 3 and x = 6.

Substitute the values of x in the equation to check answers are valid or not.

For x = 3,

$\begin{gathered} 2\log _3(3^{})-\log _3(3-2)=2 \\ 2\log _33-\log _31=2 \\ 2\cdot1-0=2 \\ 2=2 \end{gathered}$

Equation satisfy for x = 3. So x = 3 is valid value of x.

For x = 6,

$\begin{gathered} 2\log _36-\log _3(6-2)=2 \\ 2\log _36-\log _34=2 \\ \log _3(6^2)-\log _34=2 \\ \log _3(\frac{36}{4})=2 \\ \log _39=2 \\ \log _3(3^2)=2 \\ 2\log _33=2 \\ 2=2 \end{gathered}$

Equation satifies for x = 6.

Thus values of x for equation are x = 3 and x = 6.

Answer:

y=2x+3

Step-by-step explanation:

you should see how to get from one number to the next.

I noticed by multiplying an input by 2 then adding 3 I reach my output.

I would use this for each input to find that it would equal my output every time I used the rule

Luna ray has 1 orange pick for every 2 green picks.How many green picks does Luna have if she has 12 total picks?

Lana71 [14]

Answer:

8 green picks

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this problem is a ratio that also gives a total, setting up equivalent ratios in a table with the total would be a good way to find the answer. Since there is 1 orange pick for every 2 green picks and there are a total of 12 picks, we can set up the following:

Orange 1 2 3 4 5

Green 2 4 6 8 10

Total 3 6 9 12 15

You can see from the table, that when there are 12 total picks, 4 of them are orange and 8 of them are green.
