Mathematics

The point slope form, , is useful in situations involving slope and the location of one or more points. The standard form, , is usually easier to use when we need to make algebraic calculations. When needs or knowledge change, we can convert an equation from one form into another.

The slope-intercept form (not asked for) is the y=mx+b form, where m is the slope and b is the y-value of the y-intercept (0,b).
This form only works if you have both the slope and y-intercept.

If you have the slope and some other point on the line, say (x1, y1), then the point slope form is:
y - y1 = m ( x - x1 )

So, if you have a slope of 7 and a point (2, -6), then your point-slope form would be:
y - (-6) = 7 ( x- 2) or y+6=7(x-2)

Now standard form is the Ax+By=C format. You can turn any slope-intercept equation or point-slope equation into that form by distributing everything out and getting the x’s and y’s to the left side. Often you’ll also make sure you don’t have any fractions.

Taking the last answer I had, y+6=7(x-2), I’d put this into standard form by distributing:
y+6=7(x-2)

y+6 = 7x - 14

Then move 7x to the left by subtracting and move 6 to the right by subtracting:

-7x + y = -20

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: one angle is 6x + 9 also equals to 9x -30

9x - 30 = 6x + 9

3x = 39, x = 13

Angle is 6×13+9 = 87

A boat is carrying containers that weigh 4000 pounds each.
deff fn [24]

Answer:

4 = 16,000

8 = 32,000

10 = 40,000

Step-by-step explanation:

4 x 4 = 16 then add the zeros and then you have 16,000. Same thing with 8. 4 x 8 = 32 then add the zeros. Also goes for 10. 4 x 10 = 40 then add the zeros.

​ On a certain hot​ summer's day, 335 people used the public swimming pool. The daily prices are $1.25 for children and $2.00 fo
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

57

Step-by-step explanation:

Let c represent the number of children ($1.75 each) and a represent the number of adults ( $2.00 each).

We know that there were 340 people total, so c + a = 340. This implies that a = 340 - c

We also know that $1.75 c + $2.00 a = $609.25

By substituting a with 340 -c we have $1.75 c + $2.00 (340 -c) = $609.25

Use the distributive property to obtain $1.75 c + $680 - $2.00 c = $609.25

Subtract $680 from both sides and combine like terms to get - $0.25 c = -

$70.75

Now, divide both sides by -$0.25 to get c = 283, the number of children.

The number of adults is 340 - c or 340 - 283 = 57

A car travels at a speed of 85 miles per hour. How far will it travel in 15 mins?
marusya05 [52]

In this question, we're trying to find how many miles a car travels in 15 minutes.

We know that the car travels at 85 mph.

However, we need to know how many miles it travels per minute.

To find this, we would divide 85 by 60.

85 ÷ 60 = 1.4166

The car drives at a speed of about 1.42 per minute.

We need to know how far it goes in 15 minutes, so multiply 1.42 by 15.

1.42 · 15 = 21.3

The car travels at a approximately 21.3 miles in 15 minutes.
