Answer


y = 3x + 17


Explanation

If you you want to find the equation of a line you require a point on that line and is gradient.

gradient = 3

a point on the line is (-8, -7)

Chose another general point (x, y)



gradient = (change in y)/(change in x)

3 = (y- -7)/(x- -8)

3 = (y+7)/(x+8)

3(x+8) = y+7

3x+24 = y+7

y = 3x + 24 - 7

y = 3x + 17

Your answer is y = 3x + 24.

We already know that the first part of the equation is 3x, as the slope has been given to us. This means all we have to figure or is the y-intercept, which we can do by substituting in the coordinates we were given:

y = 3x + c
-7 = (3 × -8) + c
-7 = -24 + c
+ 24
17 = c

This gives us our y-intercept as 17, so then the final answer is y = 3x + 17.

I hope this helps!

kipiarov [429]

Answer:

48

Step-by-step explanation:

the number of shirts are 3, number of pants 4, number of socks pairs 2 and 2 pairs of shoes.

first lets start with shirts and pants, number of unique combinations are,

(for each shirt there are 4 different pant combinations) = (3)(4)

=12

similiarly for each shirt pant pair there are 2 shoes and 2 socks pairs.

thus, total number of combinations are=

(12)(2)(2)

= 48

gavmur [86]

Answer:

Drinks = 6.75

Popcorn= 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the popcorn = P

Let the drink = D

2*P + 3*D = 22.25         multiply this equation by 6

12*P + 4D = 39.00

<u>12P + 18D = 133.5</u>          Subtract these two equations

- 14D = - 94.50               Divide by -14

-14D/-14 = -94.5/-14        Do the division

D = 6.75

=========================

12P  +  4D = 39            Substitute for D

12P + 4*6.75 = 39        Combine

12P + 27 = 39               Subtract 27 from both sides

12P + 27-27=39-27      Collect like terms

12P = 12                        Divide by 12

12P/12 = 12/12

P = 1                               Answer
