What is the equasion of the line that passes through (0,5) and (2,3)
1 answer:
The equation for a line is mx + b = y where m is the slope and b is the y intercept. To find the slope, we need to use the equation .
Therefore, m is equal to -1. Normally, we would then have to plug in m and one of the points to find b. However, because the point (0,5) is the y-intercept (the y-intercept is the point on the line where x is equal to 0), we can skip this step and go straight to forming the final equation, which is .

Answer:
Austin will have to buy 180 squares of carpeting.
Step-by-step explanation:
First find the dimension of the room. We do that by multiplying the width times the length and then subtracting the cut out region in the top right. And, in order to know how big that region we cut out is, we have to do a little subtraction.
We know the room is 18' long on the left side and 12' long on the right side. We subtract 12 from 18 to get 6, and we know that the cut out region is 6' long. We do the same thing with the width, 25' wide at the bottom minus 10' wide at the top and we see that the cut out is 15' wide.
18 x 25 = 450
6 x 15 = 90
450 - 90 = 360. The area of the room is 360
Each piece of carpet is 2' by 1'. So for every 2' long, the piece of carpet is 1' wide. Each carpet piece will cover 2 . Divide 360 by 2 and you get 180.
