Slope = (Yb - Ya) / (Xb - Xa)
Slope = (15 - 5) / (1 - (-3))
Slope = (10) / (1 + 3)
Slope = 10/4
Slope = 2.5 or 5/2 or 2 and 1/4

Answer: 18 miles

explanation: set up a proportion. (2 over 1/9 = x over 1). cross multiply, 2x1=2, then divide 2/(1/9)=18.

Vladimir79 [104]

Hey there,

Your question states: <span>A customer went to a garden shop and bought some potting soil for $11.50 and 9 shrubs. The total bill was $94.75. Write and solve an equation to find the price of each shrub.

So, I will do 94.75 minus 11.50 because he bought nice scrubs so that would be 83.25.

I will do 83.25 divided by 9 because that's the number that person bought, each scrub will end up to be 9.25.

Hope this helps.

Which are the x-intercept and y-intercept of the line drawn through the points A and B?

ladessa [460]

First you have to figure out what the equation of the line is. Let's use the slope formula to find the slope, and then one of the points to find the y-intercept. We'll put the line's equation in y=mx+b form.

$slope = \frac{ y_{2} - y_{1} }{ x_{2} - x_{1} } \\ slope = m \\ m = \frac{5 - 1}{-7 - 1} \\ m = \frac{4}{-8} \\ m = - \frac{1}{2}$

Now, we'll use that slope in y=mx+b form with one of the coordinates in order to find what b (which is also the y-intercept) equals
$y = - \frac{1}{2}x + b \\ 1 = 1(- \frac{1}{2}) + b \\ 1 = - \frac{1}{2} + b \\ 1 \frac{1}{2} = b$

therefore your y-intercept is equal to 1.5. In order to find the x-intercept we'll take our new equation $y = - \frac{1}{2} + 1 \frac{1}{2}$ and make y = 0, because the line intersects with the x-axis when y is equal to zero.

$y = - \frac{1}{2}x + 1 \frac{1}{2} \\ 0 = - \frac{1}{2}x + 1 \frac{1}{2} \\ -1 \frac{1}{2} = - \frac{1}{2}x \\ x = 3$

therefore, your x-intercept is 3 and your y-intercept is 1.5
