Solve for z. -2 +4 = -4

Write in slope intercept form an equation of the line that passes through (-2,5),(-1,1)

Juliette [100K]

Answer:

y=-4x-3

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

We are given the following two points: (-2,5) and (-1,1)

We want to write the equation of the line that passes through these two lines in slope-intercept form

Slope-intercept form is given as y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

First, let's find the slope

The formula for the slope (m) calculated from 2 points is $\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ , where $(x_1, y_1)$ and $(x_2, y_2)$ are points

We have everything we need to calculate the slope, but let's label the value of the points to avoid any confusion

$x_1=-2\\y_1=5\\x_2=-1\\y_2=1$

Now substitute into the formula

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

m= $\frac{1-5}{-1--2}$
Simplify

m= $\frac{1-5}{-1+2}$

Subtract

m= $\frac{-4}{1}$

Divide

m=-4

Now substitute -4 as m into the equation:

y=-4x+b

Now we need to find b

As the equation passes through both (-2, 5) and (-1, 1), we can use either point to help solve for b.

Taking (-2,5) for example:

Substitute -2 as x and 5 as y:

5=-4(-2)+b

Multiply

5=8+b

Subtract 8 from both sides

-3=b

Substitute -3 as b.

y=-4x-3

Hope this helps!

Two trains start from Fort Worth traveling at the same speed. The trip for Train W takes 20 hours, while the trip for Train Z ta

MrMuchimi

Answer:

The equation that best models this situation is :

b. $\frac{x}{20}=\frac{x+400}{25}$

Distance traveled by Train W = 1600 miles

Distance traveled by Train Z = 2,000 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Time taken for Train W to complete a trip = 20 hours

Time taken for Train Z to complete a trip = 25 hours

The city Train Z is traveling to is 400 miles farther away than the city Train W is traveling to.

both trains have same speeds and start from same location.

To find the distance in total each train travels.

Solution:

<em>Let length of the trip of Train W be </em>= $x$ miles

Speed of Train W can be given as :

⇒ $\frac{Distance}{Time}$

⇒ $\frac{x}{20}\ miles/h$

<em>So, the length of the trip of Train Z will be</em> = $(x+400)$ miles

Speed of Train Z can be given as :

⇒ $\frac{Distance}{Time}$

⇒ $\frac{x+400}{25}\ miles/h$

Since the speeds are same, so the equation to find $x$ can be given as:

⇒ $\frac{x}{20}=\frac{x+400}{25}$

Solving for $x$

Multiplying both sides by 100 to remove fractions.

⇒ $100\times \frac{x}{20}=100\times \frac{x+400}{25}$

⇒ $5x=4(x+400)$

Using distribution.

⇒ $5x=4x+1600$

Subtracting both sides by $4x$

⇒ $5x-4x=4x-4x+1600$

⇒ $x=1600$

Thus, Distance traveled by Train W = 1600 miles

Distance traveled by Train Z = $1600+400$ = 2,000 miles

Carter works in a department store selling clothing. He makes a guaranteed salary of $400 per week, but is paid a commision on t

pentagon [3]

Answer:

$837.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given data

He makes a guaranteed salary of $400 per week

Commision on top of his base salary equal to 25% of his total sales for the week

Required

His total salary when he made sales of 25%

Step two

let us solve for 25% of $1750 made

=25/100*$1750

=0.25*$1750

=$437.5

Hence his total payment for the week will be

=$400+$437.5

=$837.5

Also, if the sales is $x his pay would be

let y be his pay

y=0.25x+400
