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!

You have $10 to go bowling with your friends. You need to rent shoes for $4. Each game (g) costs $3. Write and solve an equation
dexar [7]

Answer:

  • The equation is: x = (y - $4) / g

Where x is the number of games you can play;

y is the amount you have

and g is the cost of each game

  • You can play only 2 games

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, you have $10 to go bowling and you need to rent shoes for $4. Hence, after renting the shoes, you will have $10 - $4 left, that is you will have $6 left. To determine the number of games you can play, that will be the amount you have left after renting shoes divided by the cost of each game.

Let the number of games you can play be x games

and the amount you have be y

and the cost of each game be g

Hence,

x = (y - $4) / g

From the question,

y = $10

and g = $3

∴ x = ($10 - $4)/ $3

x = $6 / $3

x = 2

Hence, you can play only 2 games
