How to find an equation for a line through two given points?​

Mathematics

Answer:

The equation of the line is: y = 0.6x + 0.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of a line:

The equation of a line has the following format:

y = mx + b

In which m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Two points:

We have these following two points in this exercise:

x = -6, y = -3, so (-6,-3)

x = 4, y = 3, so (4,3)

Finding the slope:

Given two points, the slope is given by the change in y divided by the change in x.

Change in y: 3 - (-3) = 3 + 3 = 6

Change in x: 4 - (-6) = 4 + 6 = 10

So

m = \frac{6}{10} = 0.6

Then

y = 0.6x + b

Finding b:

We replace one of the points in the equation to find b. I will use (4,3).

y = 0.6x + b

3 = 0.6*4 + b

2.4 + b = 3

b = 0.6

The equation of the line is: y = 0.6x + 0.6

Bill and Eugene left the airport at the same time. They traveled in opposite directions. Eugene traveled 21.1 km/h faster than B
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

56.3 kilometers per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

We know D = RT

where

D is distance

R is rate (speed)

T is time

Let's Bill's rate be "x". Thus using equation we can write:

D = xt

We know Eugene travelled 21.1 faster than Bill, so Eugene's rate is 21.1 + x. So we can write:

D = (21.1 + x)t

D = 21.1t + xt

Now, putting t = 1 in both since after 1 hour given, we have:

D = x(1)

D = x

and

D = 21.1(1) + x(1)

D = 21.1 + x

We know the sum of both the distance is 133.7, so we can write:

x + 21.1 + x = 133.7

Solving for x:

2x = 133.7 - 21.1

2x = 112.6

x = 112.6 / 2

x = 56.3 km/hr

This is Bill's rate: 56.3 kilometers per hour
