Hello there! So, y = mx + b is in slope-intercept form, where m represents the slope, b represents the y-intercept, and y and x remain unfilled. First off, let's solve for the slope. The formula for slope is y2 - y1 / x2 - x1, where you subtract the first x and y coordinates from the second x and y coordinates. So it would be formed like this:
9 - 4 / 6 - (-4)
Let's subtract. 9 - 4 is 5. 6 - (-4) is 10. 5/10 is 1/2 in simplest form. The slope for this equation is 1/2. Now, let's find the y-intercept. We will find that by plugging one of the points into the equation and solving for b. The x and y coordinates will be filled in by that coordinate. Let's use (-4, 4) for this problem. We will also plug in the slope. In this case, the problem will look like this:
4 = (1/2)(-4) + b
Now, let's multiply 1/2 and -4 to get -2. Now, to get b by itself, subtract 2 to both sides to isolate the b. -2 + 2 cancels out. 4 + 2 is 6. b = 6. There. The equation of the line in slope-intercept form is y = 1/2x + 6.
Answer:
The number is 12
Step-by-step explanation:
[] First, let's turn all these words into something mathematical. N will equal "my number"
-><u> If you add 12 to my number</u> and then multiply the result by 3, you will get 64 more than two-thirds of my number.
-> n + 12 <u>and then multiply the result by 3</u>, you will get 64 more than two-thirds of my number.
-> 3(n + 12), you will get 64 more than <u>two-thirds of my number</u>.
-> 3(n + 12) = <u>64 more than</u> 
-> 3(n + 12) = 64 + 
[] Phew, okay. Now it is something we can solve and less scary;
[Given]
3(n + 12) = 64 + 
[Distribute]
3n + 36 = 64 + 
[Multiply both sides by 3]
9n + 108 = 192 + 2n
[Subtract 108 and 2n from both sides]
7n = 84
[Divide both sides by 4]
n = 12
Have a nice day!

Answer:
86.63 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The tangent relation applies.
Tan = Opposite/Adjacent
tan(77°) = (tree height)/(20 ft)
tree height = (20 ft)·tan(77°) ≈ 86.63 ft
_____
<em>Additional comment</em>
It is somewhat problematic for Bob to see the top of a white pine tree at that angle of elevation. His view would likely be obscured by the branches of the tree.
1) -16 = v - 14
Add 14 to both sides.
v = -2
2) -2n = -22
Divide both sides by -2.
n = 11
3) 25 = b + 7
Subtract 7 from both sides.
b = 18
Answer:
on the x-axis
Step-by-step explanation:
it is located on the x axis because it is not technically in any quandrant. it is however, on an axis.
