The slope will be the number that always sits next to x. So the slope in this case is 3/1. Which is rise over run. If it was a fraction, like 1/3, that would mean that the slope is rise one, run three.
If you want to find the y-intercept, you do that by putting a zero in for x, so you want to find the point that the line intersects the y-axis. So x would be zero, and wherever that point is is the y-intercept. In this case:
y = 3x - 1

y = 3(0) - 1

3 times 0 is zero

y = - 1 So, the y-intercept is - 1, or (0,-1)


To sketch the graph, you just place any number in for x or y (x is easier in this case), and solve it.
For example, I am going to say that x equals two.

y = 3(2)-1

y = 6-1

y = 5

So, your point to put on the graph would be (2,5) (x,y)

2. Find the value of x. Give your answer in<br> simplest radical form.<br> 20 <br> 16
Mariana [72]

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pythagorean theorem shows that 400 or 20² - 256 or 16² = 144 or 12² which means that the other side is 12

x=12

A dry cleaner charges $18 to clean 4 pairs of pants.   How many pairs of pants can be cleaned for $27 at the same rate?
blondinia [14]

4 pairs of pants for $18.

Divide price by quantity to get the cost of 1 pair of pants:

18 / 4 = 4.50 per pair.


Divide 27 by 4.50 to find number of pairs:

27 / 4.5 = 6

6 pairs of pants can be cleaned for $27.

Solve the equation for y (Y-3)^2=4y-12
Jet001 [13]
<span>(Y-3)^2 = 4y -12 <=> Y^2 - 6Y + 9 = 4y - 12 <=> 4y = Y^2 - 6Y + 21 <=> y = (Y^2 - 6Y + 21)/4. Solving the equation for y means that we have to express y relative to the other quantities in the equation.</span>
