Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
In the equation y=kx+1, k is the slope and 1 is the y-intercept.
To find the slope, use the formula k=y2-y1/x2-x1. To use this formula, you need two points. The first point, point M, is given to you. The second point can be the y-intercept, point (0, 1). Now, apply the formula to find the slope: k=3-1/1-0
k=2/1
k=2
We now have the equation y=2x+1.
The next step is to graph the line.
First, graph the y-intercept. Should look something like this: (star represents point. the point is on (0, 1).)

Then, use the slope to find your second point: (the point is on (1, 3)).

Draw a line through those two points and you have your answer!
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to find two things-- the speed of the boat in still water and the speed of the current. Each of these things will be represented by a different variable:
B = speed of the boat in still water
C = speed of the current
Since we have two variables, we will need to find a system of two equations to solve.
How do we find the two equations we need?
Rate problems are based on the relationship Distance = (Rate)(Time).
Fill in the chart with your data (chart attached)
The resulting speed of the boat (traveling upstream) is B-C miles per hour. On the other hand, if the boat is traveling downstream, the current will be pushing the boat faster, and the boat's speed will increase by C miles per hour. The resulting speed of the boat (traveling downstream) is B+C miles per hour. Put this info in the second column in the chart. Now plug it into a formula! <u>Distance=(Rate)(Time) </u>Now solve using the systems of equations!
Answer:
y = -(3/7)x + 2
Step-by-step explanation:
(see attached)
recall that the slope-intercept form of a linear equation is
y = mx + b
where m = slope = given as -(3/7)
and b = y-intercept = 2
substituting these values into the eqation:
y = mx + b
y = -(3/7)x + 2
