Answer:

2x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

I am assuming you are talking about a linear function. If it is, then the equation would be:

2x + 5.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

y = 2x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

For this example, I used the slope-intercept form, y = mx + b, where m represents the slope and b represents the y-intercept.

In order to find the equation, we must find the slope and y-intercept.

<h3>Finding m</h3>

The slope can be found with the formula:

m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}, where the x and y variables represent different x and y values from the given points.

Substituting in values from the points, we get:

m = \frac{-1 + 9}{-3 + 7}\\\\m = \frac{8}{4}\\\\m = 2

<h3>Finding b</h3>

In order to find the y-intercept, we must substitute the slope back into the original equation:

y = 2x + b

After this, we must also substitute either of the two points. Both will give the correct answer, but (-3, -1) will be used for this example.

-1 = 2(-3) + b\\-1 = -6 + b\\5 = b

<h3>Finding the equation</h3>

After this, all that must be done is to substitute the values for b and m back into the original equation.

y = 2x + 5

To check our work, we can substitute in either of the given points. For demonstration purposes, (-7, -9) will be used.

(-9) = 2(-7) + 5\\-9 = -14 + 5\\-9 = -9

Make v the subject of the relation KE = ½mv²
Irina18 [472]

Answer:

v=\sqrt{\frac{2KE}{m} }

Step-by-step explanation:

KE = 1/2mv^2

KE/1/2=mv^2

2KE=mv^2

2KE/m=v^2

\sqrt{2KE/m} =v

Please help ASAP THIS IS MY FINAL QUESTION!!!! 20 points!!!!

Answer:

y= 1/2x-3

Step-by-step explanation:

2y - x = 8

First find the slope

2y = x+8

Divide by 2

2y/2 = x/2 +8/2

y = 1/2 x +4

The slope is 1/2  ( y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept)

When lines are parallel they have the same slope)

Using y = mx+b

y =1/2x+b

Substituting the point (4,-1) into the equation

-1 =1/2(4)+b

-1 = 2+b

-3 =b

The equation of the line is

y= 1/2x-3

A car dealership has SUVs and sedans in a ration of 5:9. How many sedans does the car dealership have if there are 140 SUVs
Elza [17]

To solve this, all you need to do is compare the ratio to the amount of SUVS there are.

5/9 (SUVs to sedans)

140/? (SUVs to sedans)

140 ÷ 5 = 28

9 x 28 = 252

140/252

There are 252 sedans in the car dealership! :D
