Question 3
13. Suppose that the water level of a river is 34 feet after 3 days of rain and 62 feet after 10 days of rain.

Given the two points we know: (3, 34) and (10, 62), what would the point-slope equation look like?

(1 point)
Responses

(y - 10) = 4 (x + 62)
(y - 10) = 4 (x + 62)

(y - 34) = 4 (x - 3)
(y - 34) = 4 (x - 3)

(y - 34) = 4 (x - 10)
(y - 34) = 4 (x - 10)

(y - 3) = 4 (x - 34)
(y - 3) = 4 (x - 34)

Answer 1

Let's go through your questions one by one.

### Question 1: Change the equation from standard form to slope-intercept form

You are given the equation:
\[ 11x - 8y = -48 \]

Let's solve for \(y\).

1. Isolate \(y\):
\[
-8y = -11x - 48
\]
2. Divide everything by -8:
\[
y = \frac{11}{8}x + 6
\]

Now compare this to the work of Bob, Bill, and Bud:

- **Bob's Work**: Incorrect, as he miscalculated during his steps.
- **Bill's Work**: Incorrect due to a miscalculation in determining the coefficients.
- **Bud's Work**: Incorrect because he miscalculated the sign of the slope.

### Conclusion for Question 1:
**None of them are correct.**

### Question 2: Rate of Change, y-Intercept, and Equations

#### Given data:
- Before the rain, the river was 22 feet.
- After 3 days, it was 34 feet.
- After 10 days, it was 62 feet.

We take the points \( (3, 34) \) and \( (10, 62) \).

a. **Rate of Change (slope)**:
\[
\text{slope} = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \frac{62 - 34}{10 - 3} = \frac{28}{7} = 4
\]

b. **y-intercept**:
To find the y-intercept, we'll use the point-slope form. The initial reading was 22 before it started to rain. This translates to:
The y-intercept \(b\) can be calculated using \(y = mx + b\).
Using the point \( (0, 22) \):
\[
y = 4x + 22
\]
The y-intercept is 22.

c. **Equation in slope-intercept form**:
From above, the equation is:
\[
y = 4x + 22
\]

d. **Equation in standard form**:
To convert \(y = 4x + 22\) to standard form, rearranging gives:
\[
-4x + y = 22
\]
We can multiply through by -1:
\[
4x - y = -22
\]

---

### Question 3: Point-Slope Equation
#### Given Points: \( (3, 34) \) and \( (10, 62) \)

Using point-slope form:
\[
y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)
\]
Where \(m = 4\) and we can use the point \( (3, 34) \):
\[
y - 34 = 4(x - 3)
\]

### Conclusion for Question 3:
**(y - 34) = 4 (x - 3)**

---

### Question 4: Graph matching the linear equation \( 6x + y = -4 \)
#### Rearranging to slope-intercept form:
\[
y = -6x - 4
\]
This indicates that the slope is \(-6\) and the y-intercept is \(-4\). You would need to look for a graph that has these characteristics.

If you have graphs to compare, look for one that shows a line decreasing steeply with a y-intercept at -4.
