The equation of the line in slope intercept form is y = - 1 / 2x + 4

<h3>How to write equation in slope intercept form?</h3>

The equation in slope intercept form is represented as follows:

y = mx + b

where

m = slope
b = y-intercept

Therefore,

using the points (2, 3)(0, 4)

m = 4 - 3 / 0 - 2 = 1 / -2 = - 1 / 2

Hence,

b = 4

Therefore, the slope intercept equation of the line is as follows:

y = - 1 / 2x + 4

The y-intercept is value of y when x = 0

Mike is making a mixture for an upcoming camp trip. He makes the mixture by combining 1/3 of a cup of cashews and 1/4 cups of al

kozerog [31]

Answer:

16 cups of cashews

12 cups of almonds

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say x is the cups of cashews and y is the cups of almonds.

We can write two equations:

x / y = (1/3) / (1/4) = 4/3

x + y = 28

Solve the system of equations using substitution.

x = 4/3 y

4/3 y + y = 28

7/3 y = 28

y = 12

x = 16

Rectangle A measures 10 inches by 8 inches. Rectangle B is an enlarged copy of Rectangle A. Select all of the measurement pairs

Fudgin [204]

Answer:

See Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Rectangle A:

$Length: 10\ in$

$Width: 8\ in$

Required

Determine the possible dimensions of Rectangle B

<em>The question has missing options; however, the question can still be solved.</em>

Rectangle B being an enlarged copy of A implies that the dimension of A A is enlarged in equal proportion to form B

Take for instance, the measurements of Rectangle B are

$Length: 15 in$

$Width: 12 in$

Divide the corresponding lengths of B by A to get the enlargement ratio

$Ratio = \frac{B}{A}$

For length:

$Ratio = \frac{15}{10}$

$Ratio = 1.5$

For width

$Ratio = \frac{12}{8}$

$Ratio = 1.5$

Notice that both ratios are the same.

For this measurement of B, we can conclude that B is an enlargement of A

Assume another measurements for B

$Length: 20\ in$

$Width: 10\ in$

Calculate Ratios

$Ratio = \frac{B}{A}$

For length:

$Ratio = \frac{20}{10}$

$Ratio = 2$

For width

$Ratio = \frac{10}{8}$

$Ratio = 1.25$

Notice that, both ratios are not equal.

For this measurement of B, we can conclude that B is not an enlargement of A

<em>Conclusively, all you have to do is: determine the ratios of the dimensions of B to A, if the result are equal then B is an enlarged copy of A; if otherwise, then B is not an enlarged copy</em>

What is the equivalent expression for 2x + 8y

klio [65]

If this helps you consider making it brainliest as it helps me out.

2(x+4y) is the equivalent expression.

Let’s say x = 1 and y = 2

Then 2x + 8y would be 18

Same thing for 2(x+4y)

Hope this helps!
