To solve this, we need to understand Slope Intercept Form (SIF), as well as how to graph a line.
SIF is the standard equation of lines on graphs. It is "y=mx+b" where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. The y-intercept is the value of y when x is 0.
To find the y-intercept (which we will need to form the equation), we should simply graph the line. This will let us visualize the y-intercept, and overall make it easier to understand.
To graph a line, we should start with the point we have (that being (3, 3)) and follow the slope with rise/run. This means in this case, we will go right 2 for every 1 up, or 2 left for every 1 down.
Below I have attached a graph to help you see how to graph this, which we will get our equation from. The highlighted area is our y-intercept. The red circle shows our original point (3,3), and the blue dots show our slope.
Using the graph, we can see the equation for this line is
y=1/2x+1.5.
Answer:
Mr.Lin's present age is 30 years now. His son is 8 years old now.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let L = Mr.Lin's present age,
S = his son's present age.
First equation is
L + S = 38. (1)
The second equation is
L + 3 = 3*(S+3) (2) ("In three years' time, Mr.Lin will be three times as old as his son.")
From (1), express S = 38-L and substitute it into (2). You will get
L + 3 = 3*((38-L)+3), or
L + 3 = 114 - 3L + 9,
4L = 114 + 9 - 3,
4L = 120,
L = 30.
A square has 4 equal sides
use pythagroeas theorem since a square has 4 right angles
a^2+b^2=c^2
a=b because the sides are equal (11)
11^2+11^2=c^2
242=c^2
square root both sides
11√2=c
the diagonal legnth is 11√2 centimiters
Answer:
1.93433
Step-by-step explanation:
Since all triangles have an interior angle sum of 180, the second angle is 45. this also means that x and y are equal. Using the pythagorean theorem, we can produce the equation
. dividing both sides by two we get
. when we take the square root of root 14 we get 1.934335
