Find the equation of a line that passes through the points (6,7) and (8,3).

Answer:

y=-2x+19

Step-by-step explanation:

For lines like these, the slope is always defined as "the change in y over the change in x" or, in equation form:  m= \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}  }{x_{2}-x_{1}  }.

Now we have,

m= 3-7/8-6

m=-2. Since m=-2, the equation is y=-2x+b.

To find b, think about what your (x,y) points mean:

(6,7). When x of the line is 6, y of the line must be 7.

(8,3). When x of the line is 8, y of the line must be 3.

Substitute them to the equation  y=-2x+b.

You can use either (x,y) point you want..the answer will be the same:

(6,7). y=mx+b or 7=-2 × 6+b, or solving for b: b=7-(-2)(6). b=19.

(8,3). y=mx+b or 3=-2 × 8+b, or solving for b: b=3-(-2)(8). b=19.

So, the equation of the line that passes through the points

(6,7) and (8,3)  is  y=-2x+19.

artcher [175]

Answer:

Profit = 75

Step-by-step explanation:

Selling price of 3 oranges = 2

There are 210÷3 = 70 set of oranges

Selling price of 1 set (3 oranges) of orange = 2

Selling price of 70 set of oranges = 70 * 2 = 140

Cost of 210 oranges = 65

Profit = selling price - cost price

         = 140 - 65

         = 75
