Answer:

y = 3x –5

Step-by-step explanation:

for slope-intercept form, y = mx + b

find the slope, m

(-8 -4)/(-1-3) = m

-12/-4 =m

3 = m

Substitute for m and use either coordinate for y and x to calculate b

4 = 3(3) + b

4 = 9 + b. Subtract 9 from both sides

4 –9 = b

–5 = b. Rewrite the equation with the calculated values for m and b

y = 3x –5

yarga [219]

Answer:

d=9

Step-by-step explanation:

The gradient of straight line is given by

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Plug in our knows

$4=\frac{17-9}{d-5} \text{ Solve for d} \\\\4(d-5)=8\\\\d-5=4\\d=9$

The cost of turkey is directly proportional to its weight. If a 12-pount turkey costs $27, how much does a 13-pound turkey cost?

Pavel [41]

Answer:

$29.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide the cost of the turkey by 12 to obtain the unit cost then multiply this by 13

cost = $\frac{27}{12}$ × 13 = $29.25

What are the solutions for x when y is equal to 0 in the quadratic function y=x^2-8x

Elena L [17]

I would use the quadratic formula for this:

x = -b ± √b² - 4ac over 2a
x = 8 ± √64 - 4(1)(0) over 2(1)
x = 8 ± √64 over 2
x = 8 <span>± 8 over 2 [simplify]
x = 4 </span><span>± 4
x1 = 4 + 4 x2 = 4 - 4
x1 = 8 x2 = 0

Thus, the solutions for x would be 0 and 8.</span>
