How would I figure out a linear equation with two plot points with fractions? (1/3(6),3) and (1/2(19),-2) are my two plot points

. I was able to graph them on Desmos, but I can't seem to figure out how I would go about figuring out the slope and y-intercept in this case... the fractions are what's throwing me off here. Please help!

Answer: m=\frac{-30}{79},\ y=5.40

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Points are \left(6\frac{1}{3},3\right),\ \left(19\frac{1}{2},-2\right)

Convert mixed numeral to fraction

\left(6\frac{1}{3},3\right)\Rightarrow \left(\dfrac{19}{3},3\right)\\\\\left(19\frac{1}{2},-2\right)\Rightarrow \left(\dfrac{39}{2},-2\right)

Slope of the line is

\Rightarrow m=\dfrac{3-(-2)}{\dfrac{19}{3}-\dfrac{39}{2}}\\\\\Rightarrow m=\dfrac{5}{\dfrac{38-117}{6}}\\\\\Rightarrow m=\dfrac{-30}{79}

Equation of line

\Rightarrow \dfrac{y-3}{x-\dfrac{19}{3}}=\dfrac{-30}{79}\\\\\text{for y-intercept, put x=0}\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{y-3}{0-\dfrac{19}{3}}=\dfrac{-30}{79}\\\\\Rightarrow y-3=\dfrac{190}{79}\\\\\Rightarrow y=3+2.40\\\Rightarrow y=5.40

He will need 17 inches of ribbon.

The diagonal splits the square into two right triangles.  We can then use the Pythagorean theorem to find the length of the diagonal (the hypotenuse of the triangle):

12² + 12² = x²
144 + 144 = x²
288 = x²

Take the square root of both sides:
√288 = √x²
16.97 = x

What is the x coordinate of the intersection of y=4x-10 and y=(x-2) to the power of 2 +2
aleksley [76]

Answer:

  4

Step-by-step explanation:

Equating the y-values gives an equation in x.

  4x -10 = (x -2)^2 +2

  0 = x^2 -4x +4 +2 -4x +10 . . . . . . . . eliminate parentheses, subtract 4x-10

  x^2 -8x +16 = 0

  (x -4)^2 = 0

  x = 4

The x-coordinate of the one point of intersection is x = 4.
