Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope is given to you by the line y = 1/4 x
The slope is just read as the number in front of x providing that the coefficient of y is 1. If that is not so, then you must divide by the coefficient in front of y. So far what you have is y = 1/4 x + b.
The second part of the question is to use the given point to find b.
x = 4
y = -1
b = ? substitute x and y to find b
y = 1/4 * 4 + b
- 1 = 1/4 * 4 + b
-1 = 1 + b
-2 = b
The equation of the line is y = 1/4 x - 2 Just to confirm this, I'm going to include the graph with the point 4,-1 on it.
Answer:
1. 5 + y = 7
⇒ y = 7 - 5
⇒<u>y = 5</u>
2. 3.8 = a + 2.5
⇒ a = 2.5 - 3.8
⇒ <u>a = -1.3</u>
3. 5 + p = 9 1/3
⇒ p = 9 1/3 - 5
⇒ p = 28/3 - 5
⇒ p = 28/3 - 15/3
⇒ p = 13/3
⇒<u> </u><u>p = 4 1/3</u>
Answer:
2.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying
2y + -1.7 = 3.3
Reorder the terms:
-1.7 + 2y = 3.3
Solving
-1.7 + 2y = 3.3
Solving for variable 'y'.
Move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '1.7' to each side of the equation.
-1.7 + 1.7 + 2y = 3.3 + 1.7
Combine like terms: -1.7 + 1.7 = 0.0
0.0 + 2y = 3.3 + 1.7
2y = 3.3 + 1.7
Combine like terms: 3.3 + 1.7 = 5
2y = 5
Divide each side by '2'.
y = 2.5
Simplifying
y = 2.5
