Which is the slope-intercept form of the equation of a line that passes through (5,-4) and has a slope of 3/4

1 answer:

4 0

Y = mx +b whre m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

We have the slope 3/4 so put that instead of m

y = 3/4x + b

Now to find the y-intercept (b), plug the ordered pair in and solve for b.

-4 = 3/4 * 5 + b
-4 = 15/4 + b
-31/4 + b

So y = 3/4x - 31/4

2.80------------------X
x=2.80*100/2.45=114.29
114.29-100=14.29%-- >14%

The length of a rectangle is 8 1/2 inches and the width is 3 1/4 inches. What is the ratio, using whole numbers, of the length t

frosja888 [35]

Short answer 34/13
Start by converting both to improper fractions.

8 1/2 = (2*8 + 1)/2 = 17/2

3 1/4 = (3*4 + 1)/4 = 13/4

Next set up a 4 layer fraction

$\dfrac{\dfrac{17}{2}}{\dfrac{13}{4} }$

Invert the lower fraction and multiply $\dfrac{17}{2}* \dfrac{4}{13}$

Cancel the 2 and the 4 leaving you with a 2 in the numerator. $\dfrac{17*2}{13} =\dfrac{34}{13}$

Explain all parts of the equation y=mx+b *will mark brainliest*

saul85 [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In the equation of a straight line (when the equation is written as "y = mx + b"), the slope is the number "m" that is multiplied on the x, and b is the y-intercept (that is, the point where the line crosses the vertical y-axis). This useful form of the line equation is sensibly named as the "slope-intercept form".The coordinates of every point on the line will solve the equation if you substitute them in the equation for x and y. The slope m of this line shows its steepness, or slant - It can be calculated like this:

m = change in y-value /change in x-value

The equation of any straight line, called a linear equation, can be written as: y = mx + b ....
