Ainat [17]2 years ago

Answer:

We conclude that the equation of the line in the form y = mx + b will be:  y=\frac{1}{2}x

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given graph, taking two points

  • (0, 0)
  • (10, 5)

Important Tip:

The slope-intercept form of the line equation

y = mx+b

where

  • m represents the slope
  • b represents the y-intercept

1 of 3 steps:

Determine the slope

We need to find the slope of the line containing the points (0, 0) and (10, 5)

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

where m is the slope between (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂)

In our case,

  • (x₁, y₁) = (0, 0)  
  • (x₂, y₂) = (10, 5)

substituting (x₁, y₁) = (0, 0) and (x₂, y₂) = (10, 5) in the slope formula

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

m=\frac{5-0}{10-0}

Refine

m=\frac{1}{2}

Thus, the slope of the line containing the points (0, 0) and (10, 5) is: m=\frac{1}{2}

2 of 3 steps:

Determine the y-intercept

We can determine the y-intercept by determining the value of y at x = 0.

From the graph, it is clear that at x = 0 the value of y = 0.

Thus, the y-intercept of the line is: b = 0

3 of 3 steps:

Substitute the values in the slope-intercept form

Substitute the values m=\frac{1}{2} and b = 0 in the slope-intercept form

y = mx+b

y\:=\:\frac{1}{2}x+0

y=\frac{1}{2}x

Conclusion:

Therefore, we conclude that the equation of the line in the form y = mx + b will be:  y=\frac{1}{2}x

Mike has a 9 foot long board. He needs to cut it into 12 equal parts. How many feet long should each section be?
telo118 [61]
Multiply 9 feet times 12 inches and you get 108 inches. Then take 108 inches and divide it by 12 sections, you get 9 inches.

Answer: Each section should be 9 inches long, or 0.75, or 3/4 feet long.

I NEED MEGA HELP WITH THIS QUESTION
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

C. y =  -  \frac{1}{4} x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

To find slope using coordinates, use the formula above.

(4, - 3) \: (0, - 2)→ \frac{ - 2 - ( - 3)}{0 - 4}→ \frac{ - 2 + 3}{ - 4} → -  \frac{1}{4}

Now, using the y = mx + b formula, plug in -  \frac{1}{4} as m (slope) and either coordinate as the x and y values. It looks like this:

- 3 =   - \frac{1}{4}(4)  + b

To solve for b, continue to use PEMDAS.

- 3 =   - \frac{1}{4}(4)  + b→ - 3 =  - 1 + b→ - 2 = b

Now use m and b to solve for your equation:

y =  -  \frac{1}{4} x - 2

The answer is C.
