slope = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
= (70-52)/(8-1)
= 18/7
=2.6
point slope form
y-y1 = m(x-x1)
y-52 = 2.6(x-1)
distribute
y-52 = 2.6x-2.6
add 52 to each side
y = 2.6x+49.4
y = 2.6x +49
the initial temperature is 49.4 or about 49
and it increases about 2.6 degrees each week
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
if the lines are parallel they have the same gradient.
rearrange the equation to make y the subject and then use the m value as gradient.
-3x=2-y
-3x-2=-y
y=-(-3x-2)
y=3x+2
therefore m=3
slope is 3
The distance between the two is 70
It’s 456 well done great job i am not sure really
