Answer:
b. y-y1 = m(x-x1)
Step-by-step explanation:
It's a matter of definition. There are perhaps a dozen useful forms of equations for a line. Each has its own name (and use). Here are some of them.
- slope-intercept form: y = mx + b
- point-slope form: y -y1 = m(x -x1)
- two-point form: y = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)(x -x1) +y1
- intercept form: x/a +y/b = 1
- standard form: ax +by = c
- general form: ax +by +c = 0
Adding y1 to the point-slope form puts it in an alternate form that is useful for getting to slope-intercept form faster: y = m(x -x1) +y1. I use this when asked to write the equation of a line with given slope through a point, with the result in slope-intercept form.
Answer: 7
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
a) 150-90 = h(15.25 -9.75)
b) 10.91
Step-by-step explanation:
a) Jennifer has 150 -90 = 60 less in savings than Eduardo, but she is earning 15.25 -9.75 = 5.50 more per hour. An equation she can use to figure her hours is ...
60 = 5.50h . . . . for h hours worked.
In 'raw' form, that might be ...
150 -90 = (15.25 -9.75)h
__
b) Solving the above equation, we get ...
60/5.50 = h ≈ 10.90909 ≈ 10.91 . . . hours
Solve for x by simplifying both sides of the equation, then isolating the variable.
x = 10
Answer:
36
Step-by-step explanation:
divide the 72 pieces by 2, you already know that 6 + 6 is 12, and 30 +30 is 60, so add 60 and 12 and you get 72
