Divide 6 by the number of ounces in a gallon, then multiply the result by the number of seconds in one hour. You tell me the answer.

Since she didn't have anything left after the last $20, and just before she spent that last $20 she spent half of what she had, that last $20 must have also been half of what she had when she walked into the second store. So, when she entered the second store she had $40. Then just before she spent the extra $20 at the first store she had $60, which was half of what she had at the start. $120.

Hint: If he needs to get a 70 average on 7 tests then he needs to score a total of 490 points for all of his tests. So 3 times what he gets on the last test plus the sum of the scores of the tests he has already taken has to be greater than or equal to 490.

Add to both sides.

Some authors define Standard form as where the coefficients are integers. If you don't have the integer restriction, then you are done. If you do have the integer restriction, multiply both sides by 4 (or -4 if you would rather get rid of that pesky minus sign on the lead coefficient.)

Since the slope is undefined, you have a vertical line. Therefore all points on the line have the same -coordinate. It is sufficient to describe the line by setting equal to the -coordinate of the point through which the line passes.

Can't be done. Since the -coordinates of the two points are equal, the denominator of the slope formula will be zero. Hence the slope is undefined and the slope-intercept form is not possible.

Whenever you have two points with equal -coordinates, just set equal to the value of that -coordinate for the equation of your vertical line.

Please note that you cannot write "the" equation of any line. You can only write "an" equation of a line. In the first place, you could just substitute the values in the point-slope form and have an equation of the desired line, or you could solve for to put it into slope-intercept form, or you could rearrange it into standard form, namely . Furthermore, for a given , , and , where describes a set of equations with an infinite number of elements, each of which graphs to the same line in .

First determine the slope of the graph represented by the given equation. This equation is in slope-intercept form, so the slope is equal to the coefficient on .

Next, determine the slope of the desired line using:



Use the point-slope form of an equation representing a straight line graph.

Move the decimal point to the right until you have gone past all of the significant digits, counting the number of places you moved the point. The number without a decimal point is the integer numerator. The denominator is 1 followed by a number of zeros equal to the number of places you moved the decimal point in order to make your numerator an integer.
