What is the slope of the line that passes through (1, 4) and (-3, -3)?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

y=7/4x+9/4

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to find the equation for a line that passes through the two points:

(1,4) and (-3,-3).

First of all, remember what the equation of a line is:

y = mx+b

Where:

m is the slope, and

b is the y-intercept

First, let's find what m is, the slope of the line...

The slope of a line is a measure of how fast the line "goes up" or "goes down". A large slope means the line goes up or down really fast (a very steep line). Small slopes means the line isn't very steep. A slope of zero means the line has no steepness at all; it is perfectly horizontal.

For lines like these, the slope is always defined as "the change in y over the change in x" or, in equation form:

So what we need now are the two points you gave that the line passes through. Let's call the first point you gave, (1, 4), point #1, so the x and y numbers given will be called [tex]x_1[/tex] and [tex]y_1[/tex]. Or,

Also, let's call the second point you gave, (-3,-3), point #2, so the x and y numbers here will be called [tex]x_2[/tex] and [tex]y_2[/tex]. Or,

Now, just plug the numbers into the formula for m above, like this:

m=  

[tex]\frac{-3-4}{-3-1}[/tex]

m= 7/4

So, we have the first piece to finding the equation of this line, and we can fill it into y=mx+b like this:

y=7/4x+b

Now, what about b, the y-intercept?

To find b, think about what your (x,y) points mean:

(1,4). When x of the line is 1, y of the line must be 4.

(-3,-3). When x of the line is -3, y of the line must be -3.

Because you said the line passes through each one of these two points, right?

Now, look at our line's equation so far: y=7/4x+b. b is what we want, the 7/4 is already set and x and y are just two "free variables" sitting there. We can plug anything we want in for x and y here, but we want the equation for the line that specifically passes through the two points (1,4) and (-3,-3).

So, why not plug in for x and y from one of our (x,y) points that we know the line passes through? This will allow us to solve for b for the particular line that passes through the two points you gave!.

You can use either (x,y) point you want..the answer will be the same:

(1,4). y=mx+b or 4=7/4 × 1+b, or solving for b: b=4-(7/4)(1). b=9/4.

(-3,-3). y=mx+b or -3=7/4 × -3+b, or solving for b: b=-3-(7/4)(-3). b=9/4.

See! In both cases we got the same value for b. And this completes our problem.

The equation of the line that passes through the points

(1,4) and (-3,-3)

is

y=7/4x+9/4

Una persona ahora en el banco 1000 pesos, el cual le ofrece un interés fijo de 3%. La función que relaciona el dinero ahorrado que recibirá después de x meses de ahorro

Answers

Answer:

Interes= [Principal*(1+tasa de interes)^x] - Principal

Step-by-step explanation:

Dada la siguiente información:

Principal= $1,000

Tasa de interes= 3% anual = (0.03/12)= 0.0025 mensual

Número de periodos= x

Para calcular el interés ganado, hay que usa la formula siguiente:

Interes= [Principal*(1+tasa de interes)^x] - Principal

Por ejemplo, para 6 meses:

Interes= [1,000*(1.0025^6)] - 1,000

Interes= $15.09

The yield of corn in bushels per acre and the amount of rain in the growing season.

Identify the explanatory variable and the response variable, if possible.

1. Amount of rain is the explanatory variable and yield of corn is the response variable.

2. Bushels per acre is the explanatory variable and amount of rain is the response variable.

3. Yield of corn is the explanatory variable and amount of rain is the response variable.

4. Amount of rain is the explanatory variable and bushels per acre is the response variable.

5. Rain is the explanatory variable and corn is the response variable.

Answers

Answer:

1. Amount of rain is the explanatory variable and yield of corn is the response variable.

Step-by-step explanation:

Explanatory Variable is the causal variable, which effects the other variable.

Response Variable is the resultant variable, which is effected by the other variable.

In this case, amount of rain effects the yield of corn (bushels per acre).

So, Amount of rain being causal effecting variable - is Explanatory Variable. Corn yield, being resultantly effected variable - is Response Variable.

how to solve 2x^2-11x+12=0

Answers

Answer:

x= 3/2   and  4

Step-by-step explanation:

Use this method to solve;

First get the multiples of   12:    -1, -12   -2, -6    -3, -4 (we use negatives, because we need a positive 12, and a negative 11).

Next, set it up like this:  (2x - )   (x-  ).

Then plug in (2x-3)  and (x -4), and use rainbow to double check.

Then take 2x-3=0    and   x -4 =0 to get x.

2x-3=0, add 3 to both sides, leaving you with 2x=3, then divide by 2 to get x alone which leaves x= 3/2, could use 1.5 or 1 (1/2) too.

Then do the same with x-4=0, add 4 to both sides leaving x= 4.

Answers are x= 3/2   and 4.

(16157-17378)/(3-2)= -1221

For the y-intercept you would just add 1221 twice to the value of the 2 year old car, get the value of 0 years.

c. -1221(7) +19820 =$11,273

In ARST, mZR = (5x – 11)", mZS = (3x – 3)°, and m_T = (3x + 18)º.
Find mZR.

Answers

Answer:

m∠R = 69

Step-by-step explanation:

m∠R + m∠S + m∠T = 180       {Angle sum property of triangle}

5x - 11 + 3x - 3 +  3x + 18 = 180

5x + 3x + 3x - 11 - 3 + 18 = 180     {Combine like terms}

                     11x  +4      = 180

                                 11x = 180 - 4

                                 11x = 176

                                    x = 176/11

x = 16

m∠R = 5x - 11

        = 5*16 - 11

        = 80 - 11

m∠R = 69

The average of your 3 quiz grades is 17 points. Two of your quiz grades are 14 points and 19 points. Write and solve an equation to find the score of your third quiz.

Answers

Answer:

The equation would be 14+19+x=51, and the 3rd quiz score would be 18.  

Step-by-step explanation:

To get to the average, you have to add all the quiz scores and divide by the number of quizzes. If you work backwards, you can multiply the average by the number of quiz scores, which is 51. Then you subtract the known test scores, and you get your answer.

For what values of m are there 2 different distinct real solutions? Give your answer as an inequality. X^2-2x+m.

I'm not sure, but I think the formula is b^2-4ac>0​

Answers

Answer:

m<1

Step-by-step explanation:

If the expression is in the form of [tex]ax^2+bx+c[/tex], then the condition for having 2 different real roots is

[tex]b^2-4ac>0\cdots(i)[/tex].

The given expression is [tex]x^2-2x+m[/tex].

Here, a=1, b=-2 and c=m.

So, by using equation (i),

[tex](-2)^2-4(1)(m)>0[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow 4-4m>0[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow 4m<4[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow m<4/4[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow m<1[/tex].

Hence, the condition for the expression [tex]x^2-2x+m[/tex] to have two different real roots is m<1.

6. A farmer sows a certain crop. It costs $240,000 to buy the seed, prepare the ground, and sow the crop. In one year's time it will cost $93,200 to harvest the crop. If the crop will be worth $350,000, and the interest rate is 7%, what is the net present value (NPV) of this investment?

Answers

Answer:

$0

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Preparation and sowing cost = $240,000

Cost of harvest after a year = $93,200

Worth of crop = $350,000

Interest rate (r) = 7% = 0.07

Net present value of Investment :

[(worth - Cost after 1 year) / (1 + r)] - initial investment cost

[(350,000 - 93,200) ÷ (1 + 0.07)] - 240,000

[256,800 / 1.07] - 240,000

$240,000 - $240,000

= $0
