ASSUMING This is a straight line so we gotta the formula for a straight line which is y=mx+b, where m represents the slope and b represents the y intercept.

First, we know this line passes through (5,8) and (9,2) we can use these for finding the equations. When we know two points, we use this formula:

y-y=m(x-x)

The first y is 8 and the second one is 2
The first x is 5 and the second one is 9

Plug it in:

8-2=m(5-9)
6=m(-4)
6/-4=m <— simplify this
m= -3/2

*NOTE: another way to find m is by calculating it (y-y)/(x-x)

Now we know m, we have to find b.
All you gotta do is plug everything you know back into the equation y=mx+b

y=mx+b
y=-3/2x+b <— now plug in a point we know(x,y)

8=-3/2(5)+b
8=-15/2+b
8-(-15/2)=b
b=8+15/2
b=16/2+15/2
b=31/2 (now you can write be as a fraction or a decimal in your equation, depending on what your teacher told you to use)
*NOTE: it is best to use fractions instead of decimals as it is more accurate sometimes.

Now we know all the variables that need to be known, we just need to rewrite the formula of the equation so the teacher can see.

m=-3/2
b=31/2

We don’t need to plug in x or y since it could have different values (since a straight line has MANY co-ordinates)

SO OUR EQUATION IS=
y=(-3/2)x+31/2

Hope you understand this, feel free to ask me anything!

Arthur has decided to start saving for a new computer. His money is currently in a piggy bank at home, modeled by the function s
Leya [2.2K]

Two or more independent functions (say f(x) and g(x)) can be combined to generate a new function (say g(x)) using any of the following approach.

h(x) = f(x) + g(x)         h(x) = f(x) - g(x)

h(x) = \frac{f(x)}{g(x)}                   h(x) = f(g(x))

And many more.

The approach or formula to use depends on the question.

In this case, the combined function is:

f(x) = 75+ 10x

The savings function is given as

s(x) = 85

The allowance function is given as:

a(x) = 10(x - 1)

The new function that combined his savings and his allowances is calculated as:

f(x) = s(x) + a(x)

Substitute values for s(x) and a(x)

f(x) = 85 + 10(x - 1)

Open bracket

f(x) = 85 + 10x - 10

Collect like terms

f(x) = 85  - 10+ 10x

f(x) = 75+ 10x
