If an equation of the linear function in the figure above is y=mx=b, than m=

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: The answer to the math question you have presented above would be 0. If an equation of the linear function in the figure above is y=mx=b, then m is equal to 0. Based on the coordinates you gave me, the logical answer would be 0 because both y and x are zeros. This means that there is no slope.
Answer 2
Answer:

If an equation of the linear function in the figure above is y = mx + b, than m = -2

Further explanation

Solving linear equation mean calculating the unknown variable from the equation.

Let the linear equation : y = mx + c

If we draw the above equation on Cartesian Coordinates , it will be a straight line with :

m → gradient of the line

( 0 , c ) → y - intercept

Gradient of the line could also be calculated from two arbitrary points on line ( x₁ , y₁ ) and ( x₂ , y₂ ) with the formula :

\large {m = (y_2 - y_1)/(x_2 - x_1)

If point ( x₁ , y₁ ) is on the line with gradient m , the equation of the line will be :

y - y_1 = m ( x - x_1 )

Let us tackle the problem.

Since the figure is unknown, I will assume it is as shown in the attachment.

First, let us find the equation of solid line passing through points (0 , 2) and (1, 0) by using this formula :

(y - y_1)/(y_2 - y_1) = (x - x_1)/(x_2 - x_1)

(y - 2)/(0 - 2) = (x - 0)/(1 - 0)

(y - 2)/(- 2) = (x)/(1)

1 (y - 2) = -2 (x)

y - 2 = -2x

\large {\boxed {y = -2x + 2} }

From above equation , it can be concluded that if y = -2x + 2 , then m = -2 and b = 2

I do not know which formula to useCarla bought a dress at a sale for 20% off the original price. The sale price of the dress was $68.90. Find the original price of the drees, in dollars.


Step by step explanation please.

Answers

Answer:

I think it's the second formula.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the original price.

The discount rate is 20%

Sale Price is $68.90

Discount = 20% of x = 0.2x

Using the formula, Sale Price = Original Price - Discount,

Original Price - Discount is x-0.2x = 0.8x

$68.90 = 0.8x

From here on, just do the equation :) Hope this helps!

choose the equation below that represents the line passing through the point (1, −4) with a slope of 1/2. a.) y − 4 = 1/2(x − 1) b.) y 4 = 2(x − 1) c.) y 4 = 1/2(x − 1) d.) y − 4 = 2(x 1)

Answers

Point (1, -4)
Slope=1/2
y=mx+c
y=1/2x +c
-4=1/2(1)+c
-4=1/2+c
c=-4-1/2
c=-4 1/2
