Standard form of a line is Y=mX+b
where m is slope
4x+2y=-6
2y=-4x-6
y=- 2x - 6
m= - 2 and y intercept is b=-6
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Remember the general form of a linear equartion: y=mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept (the value of y when x = 0).
The equation of line v (y=9x+1) has a slope of 9. A perpendicular line with have a slope equal to the negative inverse of the reference line. So the line we want will have a slope of -(1/9). That gives us y = -(1/9)x + b. Any vale of b will produce a line that is perpendicular. But we want a line that goes through point (3,-2). All we need to do is find a value for b that will make that wish come true.
Use the point (3,-2) in y = -(1/9)x + b and solve for b:
y = -(1/9)x + b
-2 = -(1/9)*(3) + b
-2 = -(1/3) + b
b = - 1 2/3, or -(5/3)
The equation is y = -(1/9)x + - (5/3)
Answer:
Part A: V = 14y; Part B: y = 2x - 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Part A: Virginia
Let y = the number of dogs Virginia walked
and V = the money Virginia earned. Then
V = 14y
Part B: Alicia
Let x = the number of dogs Alicia walked. Then
2x = twice the number of dogs Alicia walked and
2x - 2 = two less than twice the number of dogs Alicia walked. Then
y = 2x - 2

==========================================================
Explanation:
x = number of years
y = height in feet
The equation for the first tree is
y = x+3
The slope is 1 to represent a rate of 1 ft per year of growth. The y intercept of 3 is the starting height. Refer to y = mx+b form.
For the second tree, the equation is:
y = 0.5x+4
This time we have a slope of 0.5 and a y intercept of 4.
Apply substitution to solve for x
y = x+3
0.5x+4 = x+3
0.5x-x = 3-4
-0.5x = -1
x = -1/(-0.5)
x = 2
The trees will be the same height in <u> 2 </u> years.
What will that height be? Plug x = 2 into either equation to find y. We should get the same y value.
y = x+3
y = 2+3
y = 5
Or we could say
y = 0.5x+4
y = 0.5*2+4
y = 1+4
y = 5
We've shown that both equations lead to y = 5 when x = 2. This means that at the 2 year mark, both trees are 5 feet tall. This helps confirm we have the correct x value.
