A line has a slope of 7 and a y-intercept of -4. What is its equation in slope intercept form
A line has a slope of 7 and a y-intercept of -4. What is its equation in slope intercept form
The slope-intercept equation for a line:
y = mx + b where m is the slope
Given m = 7, we have:
y = 7x + b
The y-intercept is found by setting x to 0:
y = 7(0) + b
y = 0 + b
y = b
We're given the y-intercept is -4, so we have:
b = -4
So our slope-intercept equation is:
[B]y = 7x - 4[/B]

Our line equation is:
y = mx + b
We're given:
m = 4/5
(x, y) = (0, 0)
So we have:
0 = 4/5(0) + b
0 = 0 + b
b = 0
Therefore, our line equation is:
y = 4/5x

A mother gives birth to a 10 pound baby. Every 2 months, the baby gains 5 pounds. If x is the age of the baby in months, then y is the weight of the baby in pounds. Find an equation of a line in the form y = mx + b that describes the baby's weight.
If the baby gains 5 pounds every 2 months, then they gain 5/2 = 2.5 pounds per month. Let x be the number of months old for the baby, we have:
The baby starts at 10 pounds. And every month (x), the baby's weight increases 2.5 pounds. Our equation is:

The baby gains 4 pounds every month, where x is the number of months since birth. The baby boy starts life (time 0) at 6 pounds. So we have
[B]y = 4x + 6[/B]
A mother gives birth to a 7 pound baby. Every 3 months, the baby gains 2 pounds. If x is the age of
A mother gives birth to a 7 pound baby. Every 3 months, the baby gains 2 pounds. If x is the age of the baby in months, then y is the weight of the baby in pounds. Find an equation of a line in the form y = mx + b that describes the baby's weight.
Every month, the baby gains 2/3 of a pound. So we have:
[B]y = 2/3x + 7
[/B]
The baby starts off with 7 pounds. So we add 7 pounds + 2/3 times the number of months passed since birth.

Angie and Kenny play online video games. Angie buy 2 software packages and 4 months of game play. Kenny buys 1 software package and 1 month of game play. Each software package costs $25. If their total cost is $155, what is the cost of one month of game play.
Let s be the cost of software packages and m be the months of game play. We have:

Choose the equation of a line in standard form that satisfies the given conditions. perpendicular to
Choose the equation of a line in standard form that satisfies the given conditions. perpendicular to 4x + y = 8 through (4, 3).
Step 1: Find the slope of the line 4x + y = 8.
In y = mx + b form, we have y = -4x + 8.
The slope is -4.
To be perpendicular to a line, the slope must be a negative reciprocal of the line it intersects with.
Reciprocal of -4 = -1/4
Negative of this = -1(-1/4) = 1/4
Using our [URL=' calculator[/URL], we get [B]y = 1/4x + 2[/B]
Explain the steps you would take to find an equation for the line perpendicular to 4x - 5y = 20 and
Explain the steps you would take to find an equation for the line perpendicular to 4x - 5y = 20 and sharing the same y-intercept
Get this in slope-intercept form by adding 5y to each side:
4x - 5y + 5y = 5y + 20
Cancel the 5y's on the left side and we get:
5y + 20 = 4x
Subtract 20 from each side
5y + 20 - 20 = 4x - 20
Cancel the 20's on the left side and we get:
5y = 4x - 20
Divide each side by 5:
5y/5 = 4x/5 - 4
y = 4x/5 - 4
So we have a slope of 4/5
to find our y-intercept, we set x = 0:
y = 4(0)/5 - 4
y = 0 - 4
y = -4
If we want a line perpendicular to the line above, our slope will be the negative reciprocal:
The reciprocal of 4/5 is found by flipping the fraction making the numerator the denominator and the denominator the numerator:
m = 5/4
Next, we multiply this by -1:
-5/4
So our slope-intercept of the perpendicular line with the same y-intercept is:
[B]y = -5x/4 - 4[/B]
Find a linear function f, given f(16)=-2 and f(-12)=-9. Then find f(0)
Find a linear function f, given f(16)=-2 and f(-12)=-9. Then find f(0).
We've got 2 points:
(16, -2) and (-12, -9)
Calculate the slope (m) of this line using:
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
m = (-9 - -2)/(-12 - 16)
m = -7/-28
m = 1/4
The line equation is denoted as:
y = mx + b
Let's use the first point (x, y) = (16, -2)
-2 = 1/4(16) + b
-2 = 4 + b
Subtract 4 from each side, and we get:
b = -6
So our equation of the line is:
y = 1/4x - 6
The questions asks for f(0):
y = 1/4(0) - 6
y = 0 - 6
[B]y = -6[/B]

Suppose that the weight (in pounds) of an airplane is a linear function of the amount of fuel (in ga
Suppose that the weight (in pounds) of an airplane is a linear function of the amount of fuel (in gallons) in its tank. When carrying 20 gallons of fuel, the airplane weighs 2012 pounds. When carrying 55 gallons of fuel, it weighs 2208 pounds. How much does the airplane weigh if it is carrying 65 gallons of fuel?
Linear functions are written in the form of one dependent variable and one independent variable. Using g as the number of gallons and W(g) as the weight, we have:
W(g) = gx + c where c is a constant
We are given:
[LIST]
[*]W(20) = 2012
[*]W(55) = 2208
[/LIST]
We want to know W(65)
Using our givens, we have:
W(20) = 20x + c = 2012
W(55) = 55x + c = 2208
Rearranging both equations, we have:
c = 2012 - 20x
c = 2208 - 55x
Set them both equal to each other:
2012 - 20x = 2208 - 55x
Add 55x to each side:
35x + 2012 = 2208
Using our [URL=' solver[/URL], we see that x is 5.6
Plugging x = 5.6 back into the first equation, we get:
c = 2012 - 20(5.6)
c = 2012 - 112
c = 2900
Now that we have all our pieces, find W(65)
W(65) = 65(5.6) + 2900
W(65) = 264 + 2900
W(65) = [B]3264[/B]

B) 3x - y = 7

D) x + 3y = 1
Parallel lines have the same slope, so we're looking for a line with a slope of 3, in the form y = mx + b. For this case, we want a line with a slope of -3, like our given line.
If we rearrange A) by subtracting 6x from each side, we get:
2y = -6x + 15
Divide each side by 2, we get:
y = -3x + 15/2
This line is in the form y = mx + b, where m = -3. So our answer is [B]A[/B].
