The points
(−1.2,2.9) and (2.9,9.46) are on the graph of a linear relationship between two variables, x and y

Write a formula that expresses
y in terms of x

What is the value of y when x=115


Sagot :

[tex](\stackrel{x_1}{-1.2}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{2.9})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{2.9}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{9.46}) \\\\\\ \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise} {\stackrel{y_2}{9.46}-\stackrel{y1}{2.9}}}{\underset{run} {\underset{x_2}{2.9}-\underset{x_1}{(-1.2)}}}\implies \cfrac{6.56}{2.9+1.2}\implies \cfrac{6.56}{4.1}\implies 1.6[/tex]

[tex]\begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{2.9}=\stackrel{m}{1.6}(x-\stackrel{x_1}{(-1.2)}) \\\\\\ y-2.9=1.6(x+1.2)\implies y-2.9=1.6x+1.92\implies \boxed{y=1.6x+4.82} \\\\\\ \textit{when x = 115, what is "y"?}\qquad y=1.6(115)+4.82\implies y=188.82[/tex]
