We have two points so we can find the gradient using y1-y2/x1-x2
gradient = 21-27/2-8
= 1
we know the form for any linear equation is y = mx + c
we have m and a point so we can substitute in point (2,21) to find c
21 = 1 x 2 + c
c = 19
therefore, the equation is y = x + 19

Y = x + 19


Slope(m) formula: y2 - y1 / x2 - x1
y2 - y1 / x2 - x1 = 27 - 21 / 8 - 2 = 6 / 6 = 1

y = mx + b
y = 1x + b or y = x + b (the one is usually invisible)

Now, we use either one of our points to find b. I will be using (2, 21).

y = x + b
21 = 2 + b
- 2 - 2
19 = b

y = x + b -> y = x + 19


Check your answer using either one of the points.

y = x + 19
21 = 2 + 19
21 = 21
This statement is correct


y = x + 19
27 = 8 + 19
27 = 27
This statement is correct

Therefore, our equation is: y = x + 19



Hope this helps!

The sales tax in Mansfield is 8.25% on anything purchased. What is the percent of the original price you will pay? Write your an
Fynjy0 [20]
If the tax was 10%, then you’d end up paying the original 100% plus the additional 10% tax, so you’d pay 110% of the original price.

In your example, it’s the same, except you have 8.25% tax, so you’d pay 100%+8,25% or 108.25% of the original price.
That’s stated as a percent.

To convert a percent to a decimal, you divide by 100:
108.25 ÷ 100 = 1.0825

To convert a decimal to a fraction, you have to know the place value of the smallest place. In this case, the 5 is in the ten thousandths place.
10825/10000

You can always double check that fraction on a calculator.

denny can deliver 6 papers every 15 minutes and brendan can deliver 5 papers in that same amount of time. how many papers can th
Evgesh-ka [11]

So for this problem you know that 15 is 1/4 of an hour so to get the amount of papers each individual could deliver by themselves in an hour you would multiply the amount they can deliver in 15 minutes by 4. Denny delivers 6 so multiplying that by 4 is 24. Next Brendan delivers 5 in 15 minutes so multiplying that by 4 you get 20. The final step is to add 20 and 24 to get the total amount of papers between the two of them that gets delivered in an hour. This will result in your answer of 44.
