So for each of the graphs, you basically just have to fill out slope form, which is y=my+b. And to make this equation, you need to find each variable.
First, find the slope. To calculate slope, count the rise (how many units up or down) the line goes from any point to the next immediate point, then the run (how many units left or right.) This should leave you with a fraction, rise/run. For example, on number 3, from labeled points (-5, -4) to (5,2) (double check cause it’s hard to see on my phone, but i think those are the points on 1??) it rises 6 units (-4 to 2) and runs 10 units (-5 to 5). This gives you your rise/run fraction, which is 6/10, simplified to 3/5.
So the slope fills out the m part of the equation. For 3, we found that slope is 3/5, and that fits into the m variable of the slope equation.
This makes it y=3/5x+b.
The last (and considerably less confusing) step is to find b. b is the y-intercept, which is just the point in the graph where the line crosses the y-axis and x=0. On 3, this would be (0,-1) or just -1.
So fill -1 into the b slot of the equation, and you get y=3/5x-1. And thats it!!
Let me know if you still need help on any of the other problems, but I hoped this helped to clear it up!! :)
Answer:
<em>the median is 21</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>8 , 15 , 21 , 25 , 63 </em>
<em>that is what you have to do you would have to put them in order from least to greatest so then you would see the middle number which is 21</em>
Answer:
y = 8/5x + (-4) or y = 8/5x -4
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope-intercept form is written like this:
y = mx + b
The variable <em>m</em>, represents slope and <em>b</em>, represents the y-intercept.
To find slope, you have to find the rise/run or in other words, change of y over change of x.
From the look of the line, the slope has to be positive because the line is going up.
To go from the bottom point to the top, we have to go up 8 points and go to the right 5 points. Thus the slope is 8/5.
Now for the y-intercept. This part is easy. Just ask yourself this...
"Which of the two points is on the y-axis?"
In this case, it is the bottom point which is -4.
So your equation should look like this:
y = 8/5x + (-4)
or y = 8/5x - 4 because when you have a plus sign and a minus sign, the result is negative.
hope this helps :)
the answer for this question is x=4
