Slope intercept formula: y = mx + b where m equals slope and b equals the y-intercept.
Answer: y = -6x + 3
Answer:
-500-275= -775
or
-500+-275=-775
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
12
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Slope intercept form is y=mx+b, where m is slope and b is y-intercept.
It gave you point (8,12) and slope of -2.
So you already know the value of m, so so far it's y = -2x + b.
Plug the coordinates as x and y: 8 for x and 12 for y.
12 = -2(8) + b
12 = -16 + b
28 = b
Adding b in, you get y = -2x + 28
2. Find the slope, then use point-slope form.
Slope is change in y over change in x, or (y2-y1)/(x2-x1).
m = (9-1)/(2-3) = 8/(-1) = -8
Point slope form: y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y - y1 = -8(x - x1)
Now plug in either of the coordinates as x1 and y1, let's do (3,1).
y - 1 = -8(x - 3)
y - 1 = -8x + 24
y = -8x + 25
3. Do it the same way as number 2. Choose two points, for example (1,1) and (2,-2). You find m = -3 and get final answer as y=-3x + 4.
4. B = 150 + 80d
B is account balance, d is number of monthly deposits.
If you rearrange the terms: B = 80d + 150, you see that that is in slope-intercept form y = mx+b, and if you remember from #1 m is the slope. In this case, the variables are changed, so d is the slope here. And the question told you that d, the slope, is the number of monthly deposits. Its coefficient is 80, so Bianca deposits $80/month.

14a + 16b = 560
16b = 560 - 14a
b = (560 - 14a)/16
b = 560/16 - 14a/16
b = 35 - (7/8)a
<span>b = -(7/8)a + 35</span>
Notice that the difference in the absolute values of consecutive coefficients is constant:
|-7| - 1 = 6
13 - |-7| = 6
|-19| - 13 = 6
and so on. This means the coefficients in the given series

occur in arithmetic progression; in particular, we have first value
and for
,
. Solving this recurrence, we end up with

So, the sum to
terms of this series is

The second sum
is a standard geometric series, which is easy to compute:

Multiply both sides by
:

Subtract this from
to eliminate the intermediate terms to end up with

The first sum
can be handled with simple algebraic manipulation.









Putting everything together, we have
