The correct answer is
Slope intercept form: y = mx + b
m=6
b=-15
Intercepts:
x-intercept=2.5
y-intercept=-15
Answer:
See explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
There are three possible cases:
1. Point N lies between M and P, then MN + NP = MP. Consider needed difference:
2. Point N lies to the right from point P, then MP + PN = MN. Consider needed difference:
3. Point N lies to the left from point M, then NM + MP = NP. Consider needed difference:
The person at the top is correct.
Answer:
y=mx+c
We have to find the value of m and c.
Let's substitute the value of x and y from the table.
When x=1, y=15,
15= m(1)+c
m +c= 15 ------(1)
Now substitute another set of x and y values.
When x=2, y=24,
24= m(2)+c
2m +c= 24
c= 24 -2m ------(2)
Let me rewrite the two equations so that it is clearer for you to see.
m + c= 15 -----(1)
c = 24 -2m -----(2)
subst. (2) into (1):
m+ 24-2m= 15
-m= 15-24 (bring constants to 1 side, m terms to the other)
-m= -9 (simplify)
m= 9 ( divide by -1 throughout)
subst. m=9 into (2):
c= 24 -2(9)
c= 24-18
c= 6
Thus, the equation is y=9x+6.
When the cat is 3 years old, x=3.
When x=3,
y= 9(3)+6
y= 33.
Hence, the cat is 33 years old in human years.
