Answer: y=-6/5x+3
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the equation of the line that passes through the points, you want to first find the slope by using the formula 
, then solve for the y-intercept.
Now that we have the slope, we can plug in a given point and solve for the y-intercept.
15=-6/5(-10)+b [multiply]
15=12+b [subtract both sides by 12]
b=3
Now that we have the y-intercept, we know the equation is y=-6/5x+3.
Answer:
$50.40
Step-by-step explanation:
The garden has an area of ...
(15 ft)(12 ft) = 180 ft²
Amy wants to cover 1/4 of that with flowers, so the area devoted to flowers is ...
(1/4)(180 ft²) = 45 ft²
The cost for each square foot is $1.12, so the cost of the flowers will be ...
($1.12/ft²) × 45 ft² = $50.40 . . . . cost to cover 1/4 of the garden with flowers
The following are the choices on this question:
A.6
B. 39
C. 26
D. 12
The answer is option D. 12.
Check this out:
S=n² + n
S= 12² + 12
(you can get the square of 12 by multiplying 12 by itself: 12 × 12)
S=144 +12
S=156
