answer:
y = 2x - 5
work:
to write equations, we use the format y = mx + b.
m stands for the slope, and b stands for the y intercept.
this means that you should be able to enter the values for y and x and get a valid equation as a result.
in this equation, we are not given a y intercept value, but we do have a slope and x and y values, so we have to solve by substituting.
so, let's substitute in the values of y and x and the slope,
and solve for b, the y intercept.
1 = 2(3) + b (multiply 2 x 3)
1 = 6 + b (subtract 6 from both sides)
- 5 = b
b has a value of -5. let's place this into the equation.
y = 2x - 5.
the slope is 2, and the y intercept is -5, let's plug in our y and x values to verify that this is true.
1 = 2(3) - 5
1 = 6 - 5
1 = 1
so, this equation is correct. hope this helps and have a great day!
Equation a and equation c
A. I would estimate that 7 in of the ribbon
B. the estimate would be high because the longer the ribbon is the more of the ribbon would have to be cut.
C. 11.7 - 5.25 = 6.45 iris has to cut 6.45 off the longer ribbon for the ribbons to be the same length.
Answer:
x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: 6.125 or 6¹/₈ units of water
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 7 people in the family and each of them are mean to drink 7/8ths of water.
The amount of water all 7 should take is therefore:
= 7 * 7/8
= 49/8
= 6.125 or 6¹/₈ units of water
