Always, ALWAYS remeber this format: y = mx + b
In this equation, 'm' is the slope, and 'b' is the y-intercept
When you're trying to find a slope, remember that the equation is 
When finding the rise and run, look at two points that are on the graph AND on the line as well. Essentially, make sure the points you're using are integers.
In this, case, the rise is -3, and the run is 2. This means that the slope is 
Now we have the first part of our equation:
y = - 
+ b
But wait! How do we find b?
Sometimes you have to input x in order to find it, but only when you're not supplied with a graph. In this case, all you have to do is look!
The point of the line that is on the y-axis is called the y-intercept.
In this graph, the y-intercept is -1
Now we have our complete equation!
y = - - 1
Good luck!
Answer:25
Step-by-step explan students ation:
total number of students=1+1+9+8+3+2+1
total number of students=25
There are 32,760 different orders for the first four positions.
This is a permutation where repetition is not allowed; the formula for that is:
For our problem, we have:
Standard form is another way of saying slope-intercept form. The equation you have there is in point-slope form, so we must convert this to slope-intercept form to get our final answer.
In point-slope form (y - k = m(x - h)) k is the y-value, h is the x-value, and m is the slope. All we must do is change your equation's form into standard form, or slope-intercept form which looks like this: (y = mx + b), where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
Convert this equation y + 1 = 2/3(x + 4) into standard/slope-intercept form.
y + 1 = 2/3(x + 4)
y + 1 = 2/3x + 2.666 Here we multiplied 2/3 by x and 4 since x + 4 is in parenthesis next to 2/3.
y + 1 - 1 = 2/3x + 2 2/3 - 1 Now we want to get y by itself so the form will look like y = mx + b, so we subtract the 1 from both sides of the equation. (2 2/3 is a mixed fraction that is equal to 2/3*4.)
y = 2/3x + 1 2/3
This is our final answer since it is in the standard, or slope-intercept form. Hope this made sense! If you have any questions please ask.
Answer:
b = 
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
a = 4b + 
- b, that is
a = 3b +
Multiply through by 3 to clear the fraction
3a = 9b + 2 ( subtract 2 from both sides )
3a - 2 = 9b ( divide both sides by 9 )
= b
