(3,9)(5,15)
slope = (15 - 9) / (5 - 3) = 6/2 = 3
y = mx + b
slope(m) = 3
(3,9)...x = 3 and y = 9
sub and find b, the y int
9 = 3(3) + b
9 = 9 + b
9 - 9 = b
0 = b
so ur equation is : y = 3x + 0....can be written as y = 3x.
after 12 months...
y = 3x...x = 12
y = 3(12)
y = 36 inches
If u have a open circle, then the inequality has no equal sign. But if it is a closed circle, the inequality has an equal sign.
Shading to the left means " less then " .
Shading to the right means " greater then " .
(1) u have an open circle on -7 with shading to the left....
x < -7
(2) u have a closed circle on 4.5 with shading to the left....
x < = 4.5 (thats less then or equal)
(3) u have an open circle on -5 with shading to the right...
x > -5
(4) u have an open circle on 1.5 with shading to the right...
x > 1.5
The first one is the correct answer
