Write an equation of a line in slope intercept from given (6,4) (5,2)

Mathematics
1 answer:
Oksana_A [137]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

y=2x-8

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Slope-Intercept Form </em>

<em>y=mx+b where y and x are variables, m is the slope, and b is the y-intercept</em>

<u>1. Find slope using the slope formula </u>\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1}}

\frac{2-4}{5-6} =\frac{-2}{-1} =2

You now have

y=2x+b

<u>2. Plug in one of the given points into the equation and solve for b</u>

y=2x+b

2=2(5)+b

2=10+b

-8=b

<u>Final Answer:</u>

y=2x-8

Ralph is 3 times as old as Sara in 4 years Ralph will be twice as old as Sara will be then. Find Ralph’s age now.
Xelga [282]

Answer:

3x+4 Ralph is currently 12 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can find the equation by reading the scenario given. When you read it, it says that Ralph is 3 times as old as Sara and since her current age is going to be used to represent x you will first get 3x. That automatically eliminates the second and third choice given. It then says the equation is for Ralph's age in four years which means to add four to the equation. This gives you 3x+4 as your equation.

When something is tripled and then in a few years it is doubled, it is easiest to first try the number that is being added. So in this case the number is four. When you multiply 4 by 3 you get 12. If Sara is 4 she'll turn eight in four years and if Ralph is 12 he'll turn 16 in four years. 16 divided by 2 is 8 which shows you that Ralph is currently 12

Are the fractions 1/5 , 5/5 , and 5/1 equivalent?Explain.
Debora [2.8K]
No, these equations are not equivalent. 

1/5, or one fifth, is part of a whole. Imagine you have a pie, cut into five pieces, and your friend comes over and eats four pieces, so now you have one of the five original pieces. That's what you have here. 

5/5, or five fifths, is a whole. any number divided by itself is automatically one, so it is like making another pie and cutting it into five pieces, only this time no one eats any of it because it's burned or something. At the end, you have five pieces of pie

5/1 is actually just another way of writing plain old 5. To keep the pie example rolling, you have five pies, and no one eats any of these either, so they are all yours. You have 5 pies divided between one person, so at the end of the day you have 5 whole pies. 

Hope that helped!
