Answer:

The x-intercept would be 9 and the y-intercept would be -18/5

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find this we need to first find the slope. To do that we use the two points and the slope equation.

m (slope) = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = (-2 - -6)/(4 - -6)

m = 4/10

m = 2/5

Now that we have the slope, we can use that and either point to find the equation of the line in standard form.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y + 6 = 2/5(x + 6)

y + 6 = 2/5x + 12/5

-2/5x + y + 6 = 12/5

-2/5x + y = -18/5

-2x + 5y = -18

Now that we have this, we can find the intercepts through using 0s. First, we put a zero in for y to find the x intercept.

-2x + 5y = -18

-2x + 5(0) = -18

-2x = -18

x = 9

Therefore the x intercept is 9.

We find the y-intercept by doing the opposite. We put a 0 in for x.

-2x + 5y = -18

-2(0) + 5y = -18

5y = -18

y = -18/5

a medication prescription states 1/4 tablet twice a day per 20kg the peson weight is 211 pounds. how many tablets should be take
Black_prince [1.1K]
<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is: 1.187 tablets each time (twice a day)

<h2>Why?</h2>

From the statement we know that 0.25 tablet (1/4) should be taken twice a day per 20 kg, it makes 0.5 table a day, per 20 kg.

First, we need to convert the given weight unit (pounds) to kg:

1 Pound=0.45Kg

So,

211Pounds*\frac{0.45Kg}{1Pound}= 94.95Kg=95Kg

A weight of 95 Kg, means 4.75 times more than the given information of 0.5 table a day, per 20 Kg

\frac{95Kg}{20Kg}=4.75

Then,

4.75*(0.5)=2.375

So,

For a weight of 95 Kg,  2.375  tablets should be taken a day, or 1.187  tablets each time.

Have a nice day!
