Answer 2

Finding the Equation of a Line Given Two Points:

Most people when asked, “What is the equation of a line?”, will answer, “y = mx + b”. This is the

equation of a line in what is called slope-intercept form where “m” is the slope and “b” is the y-

intercept. So, how do you find the equation of a line? There are several different ways that you can find

the equation of a line. I find the equation of a line everytime by following the same three steps:

Step 1: Find the slope of the line.

Step 2: Use the slope to find the y-intercept.

Step 3: Use steps 1 and 2 to write the answer.

I will explain these steps by looking a several examples. Please understand that there are often several

different ways to complete each math problem, but I have found through the years that students are most

successful when the do problems the same way each and every time they attempt the problem. If you

know a different way to find the answer that is great, but I am going to show how to do the problem one

way and use the same technique everytime I see this problem.

Example 1: Find the equation of the line passing through the points (–1, –2) and (2, 7).

Step 1: Find the slope of the line.

To find the slope of the line passing through these two points we need to use the slope

formula:

( )

( )

So the slope of the slope of the line passing through these two points is 3.

Step 2: Use the slope to find the y-intercept.

Now that we know the slope of the line is 3 we can plug the slope into the equation and

we get:

y = 3x + b

Next choose one of the two point to plug in for the values of x and y. It does not matter

which one of the two points you choose because you should get the same answer in either

case. I generally just choose the first point listed so I don’t have to worry about which

one I should choose.

(–1, –2) → –2 = 3(–1) + b Multiply to simplify the problem.

–2 = –3 + b Solve for b and you will have the y-intercept. b=1

Step 3: Write the answer.

Using the slope of 3 and the y-intercept of 1, the answer is:

y = 3x + 1

Answers

Answer:

0* 1/9*9=0

Step-by-step explanation:

The zero property of multiplication states that any non-zero number multiplied by zero will equal zero.

it can't be the first one, since there's no zero in it, and the answer isn't zero

it can't be the second one since there's no multiplication illustrated.

The third one is an option, since there is a zero and it's being multiplied by two non-zero numbers, and the answer is 0

the fourth one isn't an option since there's no multiplication

the fifth one isn't an option since there is no 0's there.

hope this helps!

The table below represents a linear function f(x) and the equation represents a function g(x):

Part B: Which function has a greater y-intercept? Justify your answer. (4 points)

(10 points)

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A

for f(x) slope between points (-1,-6) and (1,0)

m= y2-y1/x2-x1 = -6-0/-1-1 = -6/-2= 3

for g(x) slope m=4 because we compare to equation y=mx+b the given equation g(x)=4x-5

The slope of f(x) is 3 and the slope g(x) is 4 so the line of g(x) is steeper

part B

The y intercept for g(x) is  (0, -5)

The equation of f(x) can be found

y-y1 =m(x-x1) take any point for example point (1,0)

y-1 =3(x-0)

y=3x+1 so the y-intercept is at (0,1)

The y-intercept for f(x) is greater at y=1 then the one of g(x) at y=-5

and the total applicants is 79

In this problem, we want to represent the situation as a ratio of new hires to applicants

Since the question says  new hires to applicants

Hence, the ratio will be

33 to 79

or

33/79, we can simplify this as

Car A is traveling east at a steady speed of 45 miles per hour. After 2 hours, it is 100 miles east of Johnstown


Car B is traveling east on the same road. it’s distance east of Johnstown is represented by the graph.


Where were the two cars in relation to each other when they began traveling?


A. Car B was 10 miles east of car A

B. Car A was 45 miles east of car B

C. Car A was 10 miles east of car B

D. Car B was 40 miles east of car A

Answers

Answer:

The correct option is;

A. Car B was 10 miles east of car A

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The speed of car A = 45 miles per hour

The direction of car A = East

The distance of car B from Johnstown after 2 hours = 100 miles east

The direction of Car B = East

The distance of car B from Johnstown is given on the graph

Therefore, the initial distance of car A from Johnstown when car A began driving is given as follows;

The initial distance, east, of car A from Johnstown = 100 - 2 × 45 = 10

∴ The initial distance, east, of car A from Johnstown = 10 miles

From the graph, the initial distance, east, of car B from Johnstown = 20 miles

Therefore, car B was 10 miles east of car A

Answer:

Car B was 10 miles east of car A

Answer:

A is the correct answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Mathematically if we have lengths a, b and c

For a triangle to occur, let us say that the third side is c

then a + b must be greater than or equal to c

Hence c must be equal to (4 + 8) or greater than (4 + 8)

can someone plz help i need to graph it and identify the x-intercept

Answers

Answer:

(-7/2,0) is the x intercept

Step-by-step explanation:

1. y+3 = -6/7x

2.  -3              -3 ....subtract 3 from both sides to isolate the variable y

y= =-6/7x -3 ....is your new equation

You graph it by putting your point on negative three and then counting 6 units down and 7 units right.

For the x intercept you set y to 0 and solve for x

0= -6/7x -3

+3               +3 ...to both sides

3= -6/7x .....divide both sides by -6/7

-7/2=x

Yes, that is exactly what Sarah did wrong. Apparently, she tried to divide both the numerator and denominator in this problem by 2 (half) but divided the numerator incorrectly. 26 divided by 2 would equal 13 but Sarah mistakenly calculated it as 14 which would give her a totally different value when divided by the new denominator.
