Answer:

Use the two ordered pairs to find the slope, <u>m</u>.

Then substitute the slope, and <u>one set of ordered pairs</u> into y = mx + b to solve for <u><em>b</em></u><em>.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

I will provide an example in order to help you understand what each missing term means in the context of the given topic.

<h2>Example:</h2>

The common math problems involving linear functions are often stated as,

<h3>"Find the equation of the line that passes through points (0, 4) and (1, 6)." </h3><h3><em>Step 1:  </em></h3>

Since we are given two points, we can use these to solve for the slope using the following <u>slope formula:</u>

<u></u>\displaystyle\mathsf{Slope\:(m) =\:\frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}}<u></u>

Let (x₁, y₁) = (0, 4)

    (x₂, y₂) = (1, 6)

Substitute these values into the slope formula:

<u></u>\displaystyle\mathsf{Slope\:(m) =\:\frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}\:=\:\frac{6-4}{1-0}\:=\:\frac{2}{1}\:=\:2}

Therefore, the slope of the line is 2.

<h3><u /></h3><h3><u>Solve for the y-intercept:</u></h3>

Next, we must determine the value of the <u>y-intercept</u>, which is the point on the graph where it crosses the y-axis. Whenever the line crosses the y-axis, it means that its coordinates will be (0, <em>b </em>) ⇒  the y-coordinate represents the value of the y-intercept, <u><em>b</em></u>, in the <u>slope-intercept form</u>, y = mx + b.

<h3><em>Step 2:</em><em>  </em></h3>

Using the slope, m = 2, and one of the given points, (1, 6), substitute these values into the slope-intercept form to solve for the value of y-intercept, <em><u>b</u></em>:

y = mx + b

6 = 2( 1 ) + b

6 = 2 + b

Subtract 2 from both sides to isolate b:

6 - 2 = 2 - 2 + b

4 = b

Thus, the <u>y-intercept</u>, b = 4.  

Now that we have our slope, m = 2, and the y-intercept, b = 4, then we can establish the following linear function as: y = 2x + 4.

<h2>Summary:</h2>

As highlighted in Steps 1 and 2 of our given example, it shows how these sequence of steps fits in with the missing terms in your assignment.

  1. We used the two ordered pairs to solve for the slope.
  2. Once we have our slope, we used this value and one of the given ordered pairs to solve for the value of the y-intercept, b, by plugging in these values into the slope-intercept form, y = mx + b.

The coordinates of the vertices of a polygon are (-2, 1). (-3, 3), (-1, 5), (2, 4), and (2, 1). What is the perimeter of the pol
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

15.2\ units

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Plot the vertices of the polygon to better understand the problem

we have

A(-2, 1). B(-3, 3), C(-1, 5), D(2, 4),E(2, 1)

using a graphing tool

The polygon is a pentagon (the number of sides is 5)

see the attached figure

The perimeter is equal to

P=AB+BC+CD+DE+AE

the formula to calculate the distance between two points is equal to

d=\sqrt{(y2-y1)^{2}+(x2-x1)^{2}}

step 2

<em>Find the distance AB</em>

A(-2, 1). B(-3, 3)

substitute in the formula

d=\sqrt{(3-1)^{2}+(-3+2)^{2}}

d=\sqrt{(2)^{2}+(-1)^{2}}

d_A_B=\sqrt{5}=2.24\ units

step 3

<em>Find the distance BC</em>

B(-3, 3), C(-1, 5)

substitute in the formula

d=\sqrt{(5-3)^{2}+(-1+3)^{2}}

d=\sqrt{(2)^{2}+(2)^{2}}

d_B_C=\sqrt{8}=2.83\ units

step 4

<em>Find the distance CD</em>

C(-1, 5), D(2, 4)

substitute in the formula

d=\sqrt{(4-5)^{2}+(2+1)^{2}}

d=\sqrt{(-1)^{2}+(3)^{2}}

d_C_D=\sqrt{10}=3.16\ units

step 5

<em>Find the distance DE</em>

D(2, 4),E(2, 1)

substitute in the formula

d=\sqrt{(1-4)^{2}+(2-2)^{2}}

d=\sqrt{(-3)^{2}+(0)^{2}}

d_D_E=\sqrt{9}\ units

d_D_E=3\ units

step 6

<em>Find the distance AE</em>

A(-2, 1).E(2, 1)

substitute in the formula

d=\sqrt{(1-1)^{2}+(2+2)^{2}}

d=\sqrt{(0)^{2}+(4)^{2}}

d_A_E=\sqrt{16}\ units

d_A_E=4\ units

step 7

Find the perimeter

P=AB+BC+CD+DE+AE

substitute the values

P=2.24+2.83+3.16+3+4=15.23\ units

Round to the nearest tenth of a unit

P=15.2\ units

There are ten candidates for a job. The search committee will choose three of them, and rank the chosen three from strongest to
saul85 [17]

Answer:

720

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are choosing a subset of 3 people from a set of 10 people, and arranging the 3 people according to relative strength, the answer can be obtained by computing P(10,3).

 

 P(10,3)=10! / (10-3)!

= 10!/7!

Rewrite  10 !  as  

10 * 9  * 8  * 7 !  / 7!

Cancel the common factor of  7 !  and divide ( 10  * 9 * 8 ) by  1

10  * 9  * 8 = 720
