If you want to graph y=2x, then... Looking at we can see that the equation is in slope-intercept form where the slope is and the y-intercept is note: really looks like Since this tells us that the y-intercept is .Remember the y-intercept is the point where the graph intersects with the y-axis So we have one point Now since the slope is comprised of the "rise" over the "run" this means Also, because the slope is , this means: which shows us that the rise is 2 and the run is 1. This means that to go from point to point, we can go up 2 and over 1 So starting at , go up 2 units and to the right 1 unit to get to the next point Now draw a line through these points to graph So this is the graph of through the points and

expressions/750911: Wendy bought 7 bags. Each bag costs the same amount. She paid the cashier $90 and received g dollars as change. What was the cost of each bag in terms of g? 1 solutions Answer 456876 by jim_thompson5910(28715)   on 2013-05-20 18:31:13 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! let b = cost of each bag Since she bought 7 bags, this means the total cost of them is 7b dollars. Since she received g dollars in change after paying $90, this implies that 7b < 90 and g = 90 - 7b since that's how you compute change (change = amount paid - cost) Now solve for b So the cost of each bag, in terms of g, is

Mixture_Word_Problems/750912: please help me find the answer! suppose you have 80 ml of a solution that is 60% acid and 40% water. how much acid do you need to add to make a solution that is 75% acid. 1 solutions Answer 456874 by jim_thompson5910(28715)   on 2013-05-20 18:27:31 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! you have 80 ml of a solution that is 60% acid so you have 80*0.6 = 48 mL of pure acid Let x = amount of pure acid If you add x mL of pure acid to 48 mL of pure acid, then you'll have 48+x mL of pure acid total. This is out of 80 + x mL of new total solution. This ratio (48+x)/(80+x) must be equal to 0.75 since we want this new percentage to be 75%, so (48+x)/(80+x) = 0.75 now solve for x (48+x)/(80+x) = 0.75 48+x = 0.75(80+x) 48+x = 60+0.75x x = 60+0.75x - 48 x-0.75x = 60 - 48 0.25x = 12 x = 12/0.25 x = 48 So you need to add 48 mL of pure acid.

Equations/750877: Find the equation of a line passing through the point (- 10, 1) and perpendicular to the line y = 2. 1 solutions Answer 456850 by jim_thompson5910(28715)   on 2013-05-20 17:40:33 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! Anything perpendicular to y = 2 will be of the form x = h, which is a vertical line. The value of h must be -10 since all points on x = -10 have an x coordinate of -10. So the final answer is x = -10

test/750726: graph the equation y=6-2x 1 solutions Answer 456790 by jim_thompson5910(28715)   on 2013-05-20 14:28:24 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! 6-2x is the same as -2x + 6 Looking at we can see that the equation is in slope-intercept form where the slope is and the y-intercept is Since this tells us that the y-intercept is .Remember the y-intercept is the point where the graph intersects with the y-axis So we have one point Now since the slope is comprised of the "rise" over the "run" this means Also, because the slope is , this means: which shows us that the rise is -2 and the run is 1. This means that to go from point to point, we can go down 2 and over 1 So starting at , go down 2 units and to the right 1 unit to get to the next point Now draw a line through these points to graph So this is the graph of through the points and
