m = 2/3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

to find slope use rise/run count how many up then how many across from any given two points

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thank you so much

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you help me with some otheres?

Juan always saves the same amount from his weekly allowance. The table shows how much he has saved at different times. Which equation represents the situation? Juan’s Savings Weeks 3 6 9 12 Amount saved 19 28 37 46 A. y – 3 = −3(x – 19) B. y – 28 = 3(x – 6) C. y + 9 = −3(x + 37) D. y + 46 = 3(x – 12)

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

or use the slope formula : slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) and use your 2 sets of points : (6,4)...x1 = 6 and y1 = 4 (3,2)...x2 = 3 and y2 = 2 now sub and you will have your slope

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@texaschic101 plz help me on my question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol towo people fighting over someone to help them with thier math xD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

two*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

anyone?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you no have a graphing calculator? just set everything equal to Y and graph them, then do rise over run

OpenStudy (anonymous):

/) /) ( ^_^) C (") (")

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nope

OpenStudy (anonymous):

o

OpenStudy (anonymous):

;,(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im playing 8 pool cuz school boring

OpenStudy (anonymous):

cool wish i could

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nah it sucks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

at least you dont have to do school work cause i do and im trying ot get this answered so i can move on and get today over with

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that sucks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

use your slope formula : slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) now look at your table and use 2 sets of points.. weeks are you x points and amount saved is your y points (3,19) ... x1 = 3 and y1 = 19 (6,28)...x2 = 6 and y2 = 28 now we sub into our slope formula slope (m) = (28 - 19) / (6 - 3) slope (m) = 9/3 which = 3 so our slope(m) = 3 now we will use point slope form : y - y1 = m(x - x1) slope(m) = 3 and use either of your points..but I believe your answer choices are using (6,28) (6,28)...x1 = 6 and y1 = 28 now we sub y - 28 = 3(x - 6) so I am gonna go with B

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thank you so much had to read it all to understand how you got b. :P i really didnt understand this crap!!!D: but now i kinda do

A scientist recorded the growth of a plant over time. He used the data to make the graph below. Which equation represents the situation? A. y = 1.5x − 2 B. y = 1.5x + 2 C. y = 2x – 1.5 D. y = 2x + 1.5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

first figure out the slope so take 2 point on the line and do \(\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\)

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

@RainbowBubbles01 are you here?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah im here sorry

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

its fine just making sure \(\huge\ddot\smile\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so what was it?

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

what was what?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the answer silly

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

im not going to just give it to you

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

i gave you a formula to help you get to the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I know you dont know me but i am not a math person and all i can do it mulitply subtract and add sometime division

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

all this is is subtracting

OpenStudy (anonymous):

UUUUUUUUUuuhghgh with fractions and fractions are my worst enemy

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

lets say your first point is 2,5 and your second point is 6,11 substitute the first point for \(x_1~and~y_1\) and the second point for \(x_2~and~y_2\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what in the ** is that x1 and v1

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

this is going to be the equation all you have to do is simplify it \(\dfrac{11-5}{6-2}\) just do 11-5 and 6-2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

what do you get?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is ti right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it*

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

yes which is equal to 1 1/2

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

so far now you have y=1.5x+? What number does the line intersect with on the y axis?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2/5?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

idk

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im not good with y axis and x axis and stuff like that

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

see the y axis all the way on the left that has 0-12 going up?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

why the question mark?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and yeah i see it

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

ok what number does the line cross on that axis?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2,5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that are closer

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

no it crosses at the number 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

o

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

so you now have y=1.5x+2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now i see where you got the two xD im so dumb

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

its fine i used to be horrible with this to but now look at me :-)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i wish i was like you

Martin has a gift card to a coffee shop. Each day he buys the same coffee. The table shows the amount remaining on the gift card on different days. How much was on the card on Day 6? $ Martin’s Gift Card Days 2 4 5 7 Amount remaining 24.10 18.20 15.25 9.35

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

can you figure out how much he spent each day?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

12.05

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

are you saying that is the answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no how much he spends each day

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is $72.30 the answer i think it is

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

if he spends 12.05 each day then the card wouldnt last him very long do 18.20 (day 4) - 15.25 (day 5)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok i got $2.95

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

correct so that is how much he is spending each day now do 15.25 (day 5) - 2.95 (amount he spends) = ? (day 6)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

$13.25

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

not quite

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

try again?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

12.30

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

yes :-)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thx for helping em through

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i passed:D
