What is the slope intercept form of (3,3) (7,-1)

1 answer:

5 0

Slope intercept form follows this general equation...
$y=mx+b$
With this information you have posted, all you can do is find slope, your m. To calculate for slope, you need to use this following equation...
$m= \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$
Then, you pick one of your coordinate pairs to be 1 and the other to be 2. I will choose the first coordinate pair as 1, so...
$m=\frac{-1-3}{7-3} =-1$
You plug in -1 into your slope formula...
$y=-1x+b$
Now, to find your y-intercept, or b, you must plug in one of your coordinate pairs. In that equation, you may plug in the values (3,3), so you'll have...
$3=-1(3)+b$
Just solve for b and you will be done

b. Sixty-five pounds of candy was divided into four different boxes. The second box contained twice the amount of the first box.

Ainat [17]

First box = 14 pounds

Second box = 2x = 28 pounds

Third Box = x+2= 16 pounds

Fourth box = x/2 = 7 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have , Sixty-five pounds of candy was divided into four different boxes. The second box contained twice the amount of the first box. The third box contained two more pounds than the first box. The last box contained one-fourth the amount in the second box. We need to find How much candy was in each box. Let's find out:

We have a total of 65 pounds of candy ! Let in first box we have x pounds so , second box contained twice the amount of the first box i.e.

⇒ $2x$

The third box contained two more pounds than the first box i.e.

⇒ $x+2$

The last box contained one-fourth the amount in the second box i.e.

⇒ $(\frac{1}{4})2x = \frac{x}{4}$

Therefore , Sum of pounds of candy are :

⇒ $\frac{x}{2} +x+2+2x+x=65$

⇒ $\frac{x}{2} +4x=63$

⇒ $\frac{9x}{2}=63$

⇒ $x=63(\frac{2}{9} )$

⇒ $x=14$

Therefore , Candy in each box is :

First box = 14 pounds

Second box = 2x = 28 pounds

Third Box = x+2= 16 pounds

Fourth box = x/2 = 7 pounds

A map of a rectangular park has a length of 4 inches and a width of 6 inches. It uses a scale of 1 inch for every 30 Miles. What

MakcuM [25]

Answer:

The actual area 21600 miles²

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the problem

- A drawing that shows a real object with accurate sizes reduced or

enlarged by a certain amount called the scale

- Drawing scale is a ratio between the drawing length and the

actual length

- To find the actual dimensions from the drawing dimensions use the

scale drawing

* Lets solve the problem

- A map of a rectangular park has a length of 4 inches and a width

of 6 inches

∴ The drawing dimensions are:

# length = 4 inches

# width = 6 inches

- The scale of the map is 1 inch foe every 30 miles

∴ The scale drawing is 1 : 30

- To find the actual area find the actual dimensions

∵ The scale drawing is 1 : 30

∵ The length = 4 inches and the width = 6 inches

- By using cross multiplication

∴ 1 : 30

4 : actual length

6 : actual width

∴ Actual length = (4 × 30)/1 = 120

∴ Actual length = 120 miles

∴ Actual width = (6 × 30)/1 = 180

∴ Actual Width = 180 miles

∴ The actual dimensions are 120 miles and 180 miles

∵ The area of any rectangle = length × width

∴ The actual area = 120 × 180 = 21600

∴ The actual area 21600 miles²

The table shows data gathered by an environmental agency about the decreasing depth of a lake during the first few months of a d

EastWind [94]

(0,346)(2,344.8)
slope = (344.8 - 346) / (2 - 0) = -1.2 / 2 = -0.6

y = mx + b
slope(m) = -0.6
use either of ur points (0,346)...x = 0 and y = 346
now we sub and find b, the y int
346 = -0.6(0) + b
346 = b

so ur equation is : y = -0.6x + 346

after 4 weeks....x = 4
y = -0.6(4) + 346
y = -2.4 + 346
y = 343.6 <=== after 4 weeks it will be 343.6
