Given the slope, m = -2/3, and the x-intercept, (3,0):
Use these values and plug into the slope-intercept form to solve for the y-intercept, b:
y = mx + b
0 = -2/3(3) + b
0 = -2 + b
Add 2 to both sides to isolate b:
0 + 2 = -2 + 2 + b
2 = b
Now that we have our slope, m = -2/3, and the y-intercept, 2
The linear equation in slope-intercept form is:
y = -2/3x + 2

I would guess they're referring to some general form first<span>f(x)=alog(x−h)+k</span>Where 'h' represents horizontal shifts, 'k' vertical shifts and 'a' stretches the function. "a" will also reflect the function across the x-axis if the value is negative. But NOT across the y-axis. I hope that's the place they wanted to put the a at least
Answer:
0.2 centimeters
Step-by-step explanation:
Strategy 1:
Make the equation: 5=a•s, where s is the scale factor and "a" is the number of centimeters which 5 meters
First, we need to find the scale factor. 50 meters would be s times greater than 2 centimeters. Find s by first converting meters into centimeters
50m=5000cm. 5000cm=2cm*s, so s = 2500
5m=a*2500, a=0.002 meters, and 0.002 meters is equal to 0.2 centimeters.
Strategy 2:
the ratio of the scale drawing to real life will always stay the same, so
2 cm / 50 meters = x / 5 meters, and cross multiply to get
x cm* 50 m = 2 cm * 5 m, so
x cm * 10 = 2 cm
x cm = 2/10 cm
x cm = 0.2 cm
Strategy 3:
Notice that 5 meters is 10 times smaller than 50 meters, so on the scale drawing, we are looking for a number 10 times smaller than 2 centimeters, so 2/10=0.2 cm
