The equation of a line that passes through the point (-1,-4) and has a gradient of 2 is y = 2x - 2

<h3>How to find equation of a line?</h3>

The equation of a line can be represented as follows:

y = mx + b

where

m = slope or gradient
b = y-intercept

Therefore,

m = 2

y = 2x + b

-4 = 2(-1) + b

-4 + 2 = b

b = - 2

Therefore,

y = 2x - 2

ace car rental rents cars for x dollars per day plus y dollars for each mile driven carlos renteda car for a 4 days drove 100 mi

Yuliya22 [10]

$T=xd+ym\\x(4)+y(100)=(120)\\x(1)+y(240)=(80)\\\\4x+960y=320\\4x+100y=120\\860y=200\\y=\frac{200}{860}\\y=\frac{10}{43}\\\\x+240(\frac{10}{43})=80\\x+\frac{2400}{43}=\frac{3440}{43}\\x=\frac{1040}{43}$

x = 1040/43 = $24.19 per day.

y = 10/43 = $0.23 per mile.
