Hello there!
So, remember that m = the slope, and slope intercept form is represented as y = mx + b. To find the y intercept, place the values of x, y, and the slope into the equation.
The first step, ____ = (____)____ + b should look like 3 = (2/5)10 + b once you plug the values for your x and y values and slope.
The second step, ___ = ____ + b should look like 3 = 4 + b since you should multiply 2/5 x 10.
The final step, -1 = b should look like since you subtracted 4 from both sides of the equation.
Y = 2/5x - 1 is your final equation. I hope this helps, have a great rest of your day!
Using proportions, it is found that Mason ran 620 meters.
<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>
A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.
Considering the ratio, the <em>rule of three</em> is given as follows:
2 laps for Mason - 3 laps for Laney.
n meters for Mason - 930 meters for Mason.
Applying cross multiplication:
3n = 930 x 2
n = 930 x 2/3
n = 620
Mason ran 620 meters.
