Answer:

The linear equation that represents each function is y=mx+b. While The m represent the slop so instead of writing you write the slope provided. Then multiply by the X + b which is your Y-intercept.

Here is an example,

The slope is 2/3 and the y intercept is 6, write a linear equation for this sequence.

y= (2/3). X +6

Write a linear equation that passes through the point (2,-9) and has a slope of -5

Doss [256]

Answer:

y=-5x+1

Step-by-step explanation:

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y-(-9)=-5(x-2)

y+9=-5x+10

y=-5x+10-9

y=-5x+1

In the xy -coordinate plane, the coordinates of point s are (-2,-6), and coordinates of point T are (18,9). Point Q lies on line

ira [324]

Answer:

(6,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

The coordinates of the points dividing the line segment in ratio m:n can be calculated as:

$(\frac{mx_{2}+nx_{1}}{m+n} ,\frac{my_{2}+ny_{1}}{m+n} )$

Here x1, y1 are the coordinates of first point S (-2, -6) and x2, y2 are the coordinates of second point T(18, 9).

In this case m will be 2 and n will be 3 as the ratio is 2:3

Using all these values we can find the coordinates of point Q

$( \frac{2(18)+3(-2)}{2+3},\frac{2(9)+3(-6)}{2+3} )\\\\ = (\frac{30}{5} ,\frac{0}{5} )\\\\ =(6,0)$

Thus, the coordinates of point Q which divides the line segment ST in ratio of 2:3 are (6,0)

Answer:

13 buckets

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of the closet, 7 x 10 x 9 = 630. The amount of square feet in the closet is 630. If one bucket of paint only covers about 100 square feet and he was recommended to do 2 coats, that means he will need to paint 1260 square feet total, including both coats. If one bucket covers 100 square feet, then he will need to buy 13 buckets of paint total.
