Answer: y = 5x − 11
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a straight line can be represented in the slope-intercept form, y = mx + c
Where c = intercept
Slope, m =change in value of y on the vertical axis / change in value of x on the horizontal axis represent
change in the value of y = y2 - y1
Change in value of x = x2 -x1
y2 = final value of y
y 1 = initial value of y
x2 = final value of x
x1 = initial value of x
The line passes through (3,4) and (2, -1),
y2 = - 1
y1 = 4
x2 = 2
x1 = 3
Slope,m = (- 1 - 4)/(2 - 3) = - 5/- 1 = 5
To determine the y intercept, we would substitute x = 3, y = 4 and m= 5 into
y = mx + c. It becomes
4 = 5 × 3 + c
4 = 15 + c
c = 4 - 15 = - 11
The equation becomes
y = 5x - 11
2x + 5y = -6
-5y -5y
___________
2x = -11y
__ ___
2 2
x = 5.5
Answer: 48
Step-by-step explanation:
Here's the complete question:
The mean number of people per household in eight households is six people. what is the total number of people in the eight households?
First and foremost,we should note that mean means the average of a given set of numbers.
Since the mean number of people per household in eight households is six people, the total number of people in the eight households would be calculated by multiplying 6 by 8. This would be:
= 6 × 8
= 48 people
19 = 19/1 = 38/2 = 57/3 = 76/4
B should be the correct answer
