Write the equation of the line to n slope intercept from (3,5) and (-3,-1)

The equation of your line is y=1x+2

Step-by-step explanation:

first you take y2-y1/x2-x1

y2=-1     y1=5

x2= -3   x1= 3

that gives you your slope so (-1-5)/ (-3-3) = 1

y=mx+b

mx is your slope

y=1x+b

to solve for b you input your slope and one of your points (I used (3,5)

5=1(3) +b

solve for b and you get 2

then put your mx and b into the equation of a line

y=1x+2

and thats your answer

You can also check your work by using a graphing calculator and checking that the line goes through those two points.

use an equation of ratios to determine the amount of gas needed to fill the tank.

    0.2             0.8

  =    

288.75             x

                                                              231 gal

so, 0.2x = (0.8)(288.75 gal), and x = = 1155 gal.

                                                                0.2

it would take 1155 gal. to fill the tank.

the cost would be

1155 gal         $3

* = $3465   (answer)

      1           1 gal

hope this you
