What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (2, 3) and (8, 6)

The slope of the line that passes through the points (2, 3) and (8, 6) is .

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope of two points, divide the difference between the y values by the difference between x values, you can remember this by the mnenomic "rise over run". In this case, the difference between y and x values would be 6 - 3 = 3 and 8 - 2 = 6 respectively. This means the slope between the two points (2, 3) and (8, 6) is or .

simplifying

5(x + -6) = 2(x + 3)

reorder the terms:

5(-6 + x) = 2(x + 3)

(-6 * 5 + x * 5) = 2(x + 3)

(-30 + 5x) = 2(x + 3)

reorder the terms:

-30 + 5x = 2(3 + x)

-30 + 5x = (3 * 2 + x * 2)

-30 + 5x = (6 + 2x)

solving

-30 + 5x = 6 + 2x

solving for variable 'x'.

move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

add '-2x' to each side of the equation.

-30 + 5x + -2x = 6 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 5x + -2x = 3x

-30 + 3x = 6 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0

-30 + 3x = 6 + 0

-30 + 3x = 6

add '30' to each side of the equation.

-30 + 30 + 3x = 6 + 30

combine like terms: -30 + 30 = 0

0 + 3x = 6 + 30

3x = 6 + 30

combine like terms: 6 + 30 = 36

3x = 36

divide each side by '3'.

x = 12

simplifying

x = 12

this should .

x= cost per bracelet

number of bracelets * x + shipping charge = total cost

so

9x+9=72
