59 is half if 118
118/2 is 59
Answer:
m = 1/3
b = -6
Step-by-step explanation:
How to calculate slide (m):
x1 = 0
x2 = -12
y1 = -6
y2 = -10
If we put in the values:
Subtracting a negative number is the same as adding it:
-6 + 10 = 4 and 0 + 12 = 12 so now we have this:
Lets simplify:
4 and 12 can both be divided by 3:
3 and 1 are prime numbers and cannot be simplified further.
Now we know that m=1/3
Since:
y = mx + b
y = -6
x = 0
m = 1/3
Then:
-6 = 1/3*0 + b
1/3*0 is 0, so we can just remove that part:
-6 = b
that means b is equal to -6

Have a good day! (●'◡'●)
<span>1) Name the variables
Number of days: x
rent: y
2) state the initial points
x y
days $
3 285
60 510
3) assume linear relation:
=> (y - yo) / (x - xo) = (y1 - yo) / (x1 - xo)
=> (y - 285) / (x - 3) = (510 - 285) / (60 - 3)
=> (y - 285) / (x - 3) = 225 / 57 = 75 / 19
=> 19 (y - 285) = 75 (x - 3)
=> 19y - 19*285 = 75x - 75*3
=> 19y - 75x = 5415 - 225
=> 19y - 75x = 5190
=> standar form = -75x + 19y = 5190
PART B: Write the equation obtained in Part A using function notation.
-75x + 19y = 5190
=> 19y = 5190 + 75x
=> y = 5190/19 + (75/19)x
=> function notation = f(x) = (75/19)x + 5190 / 19
PART C: Describe the steps to graph the equation obtained above on the
coordinate axes. Mention the labels on the axes and the intervals.
1) Coordinate axes:
x: number of days
y: rent
2) draw the two given points: (3,285) and (60, 510)
3) draw the line that joins those points from the interception of the y-axis until some points further (60, 510).
