Answer: B rational
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
y = 2x + 1
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Find the slope; (change in y values)/(change in x values)
Slope = (-5 - 3)/ (-3 - 1) = -8/-4 = 2
2. Find the y-intercept (b) using the slope intercept formula: y = mx + b
m = 2 and using point (1, 3) , solve for "b"
y = mx + b
3 = 2(1) + b
3 = 2 + b
1 = b
3. Write the linear equation: y = 2x + 1
Set this up as a ratio putting inches on top and feet on bottom. Then your first ratio would be 1/25 since 1 inch is the same as 25 feet. In between them goes an equals sign and the the other ratio has an x on top (because inches is what we are looking for) and the 1500 on the bottom. Cross multiply to solve for x:
1(1500) = x(25). Divide both sides by 25 to get 60
Answer:
There are two solutions to this problem.
x=4
or
x=-4
