Pretend these are coordinates that you can use to find the slope of the line.
(10, 40) and (15, 60). Fit these into the slope formula to find the slope of the line you are looking for:

and the slope is 4. Now use one of the points and the slope of 4 to solve for b, the y-intercept:
40 = 4(10) + b so b = 0. The equation of the line then is y = 4x + 0 or just
y = 4x
Answer:
Isolating a variable means rearranging an algebraic equation so that a different variable is on its own. The goal is to choose a sequence of operations that will leave the variable of interest on one side and put all other terms on the other side of the equal sign.
Step-by-step explanation:
23.4375 or 24.0 is the bacteria count after 6 hours.
Answer:
y-24=m(x--4)
Step-by-step explanation:
point slope form:
y-y₁=m(x-x₁)
1) find the slope or "m" first:
slope formula: (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
(-53-24)/7+4
-77/11=-7
slope=-7
so
y-y₁=-7(x-x₁)
y1=24
x1=-4
y-24=m(x--4)
hope this helps!
