C.
Y=mx + b is the formula (M being slope, and B being the y intercept) always start by going up or down by what the y-intercept number is, if it’s -9 you go down the y axis 9 numbers from the origin (0,0) and slope (m) is always better put in a fraction-5x is better put in -5/1x
Think of the top number of the fraction as ‘up/down’ and the bottom number as ‘over’ if the top number is negative you will go down from the y-intercept number that many times, the bottom number is how many spots you go over from that number , it is always to the right.
C)
you look at were the graph starts to decrease then look at the X-VALUE not the y-value
the x-val at the start of the decrease is -3 and at the end of it it is 2 therefor -3
x
2
Solve the top equation for x and then substitute that into the bottom equation and solve for y:
Top equation: subtract 4 from both sides to get x = y - 4
Substitution and simplify:
y = 4(y - 4) - 10
y = 4y - 16 - 10
y = 4y - 26
-3y = -26
y = 26/3 or 8 1/3 or 8.333 (those are all the same but in different forms)
Answer:
When a point is reflected across the y-axis, the y-coordinate(s) remain the same. But the x-coordinate(s) is transformed into opposite signs.
Let's start by assuming Armando's house is between Joey's and the park.
Let
be the distance Joey walked to Armando's house.
<span>The park is 9/10 mile from Joey's home. Joey leaves home and walks to Armando's home. Then Joey and Armando walk 3/5 mile to the park.
</span>
That's probably the answer they're looking for. But what if the park is between Joey and Armando's houses or Joey is between the park and Armando? (The latter isn't really possible with the given distances.)
Let
be the distances between three collinear points like we have here. Our equation is really a few equations in one, something like
Let's get rid of the plus/minuses. Squaring,
For us, that's a quadratic equation for
I'll skip right to the solutions,
We could have gotten the 3/2 just by adding 9/10+3/5 but this was more fun.
