To find slope, use the formula:
(y2-y1)/x2-x1)
So here is what it will look like:
(9--7)/(1--3)
Since you are subtracting a negative, then it turns unto a positive so you are adding the numbers together.
(9+7)/1+3)
16/4
4
The slope of the line is 4/1 or 4. Which means that you will go up or "rise" 4 and go to the left or "run" 1.
Hope this helps!
The solution is the point of intersection between the two equations.
Assuming you have a graphing calculator or a program to lets you graph equations (I use desmos) you simply put in the equetions and note down the coordinates of the point of intersection.
In the graph the first equation is in blue and the second in red.
The point of intersection = the solution = (-6 , -1)
If you dont have access to a graphing calculator you could draw the graphs by hand;
1) Draw a table of values for each equation; you do this by setting three or four values for x and calculating its image in y (you can use any values of x)
y = 0.5 x + 2 (Im writing 0.5 instead of 1/2 because I find its easier in this format)
x | y
-1 | 1.5 * y = 0.5 (-1) + 2 = 1.5
0 | 2 * y = 0.5 (0) + 2 = 2
1 | 2.5 * y = 0.5 (1) + 2 = 2.5
2 | 3 * y = 0.5 (2) + 2 = 3
y = x + 5
x | y
-1 | 4 * y = (-1) + 5 = 4
0 | 5 * y = (0) + 5 = 5
1 | 6 * y = (1) + 5 = 6
2 | 7 * y = (2) + 5 = 7
2) Plot these point on the graph
I suggest to use diffrent colored points or diffrent kinds of point markers (an x or a dot) to avoid confusion about which point belongs to which graph
3) Using a ruler draw a line connection all the dots of one graph and do the same for the other
4) The point of intersection is the solution
The area is 1680 ft. squared
The first one! It is using the distributive or associative property!
The triangle is 28 cm. You multiple 7 x 8x 1/2.
the parallelogram is 50. the formula is A=bh ( area = base x height)
