First create the equation y=Mx+ B
B is the y intercept so when y = 0, B = -1.
Now we have y=Mx - 1
The slope is M. We can calculate this by using the formula M = (y2 -y1) / (x2 - x1)
Use the points (0, -1) and (2,3) for these values. So y2 = 3, y1 = -1, x2 = 2, x1 = 0
Plug them into the equation and solve
M = (3 + 1) / (2 - 0)
M = 4/2 = 2
Now we have the equation y = 2x - 1
Next to figure out if the points given are on the line you take the values and plug them into your equation like so: 4 = 2(-2) - 1
2(-2) - 1 does not equal 4 so this point does not fall on this line. Follow this same procedure for the next point given.
Answer:
3.6
Step-by-step explanation:
The average of 9 scores is x.
average = (sum of scores)/(number of scores)
x = (sum of scores)/9
sum of scores = 9x
The sum of the 9 scores is 9x.
The tenth score is 36 more than x, so it is x + 36.
The sum of the 10 scores is 9x + x + 36 = 10x + 36.
The average of the 10 scores is (10x + 36)/10 = x + 3.6
The difference of averages is
x + 3.6 - x = 3.6
To factor a difference of squares, the following steps are undertaken: Check if the terms have the greatest common factor (GCF) and factor it out. Remember to include the GCF in your final answer. Determine the numbers that will produce the same results and apply the formula: a2– b2 = (a + b) (a – b) or (a – b) (a + b)
