Answer:
In step 2, she didn’t use an x and y from the same coordinate pair
Step-by-step explanation:
see the attached figure to better understand the problem
we have the points (5, 1) and (3, 5)
step 1
Find the slope
The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to
substitute
step 2
The equation of the line in point slope form is
take the point (3,5)
substitute
step 3
therefore
In step 2, she didn’t use an x and y from the same coordinate pair
Given:
Violinists : Cellists = 7:3.
Number of violinists in the school orchestra = 21
To find:
The combined number of cellists and violinists.
Solution:
Let the number of violinists and cellists in the school orchestra are 7x and 3x respectively.
Then, combined number of cellists and violinists is
...(i)
Number of violinists in the school orchestra = 21
Divide both sides by 7.
Now, the combined number of cellists and violinists is
[Using (i)]
Therefore, the combined number of cellists and violinists is 30.
