Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
As x increases four units from -4 to 0, y decreases four units from 0 to -4
slope m = Δy/Δx = -4/4 = -1
The y intercept is at (0, -4) so b = -4
y = -1x + -4
y = - x - 4
as m is negative, slope is negative
Answer:
m = -1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
There are two ways that you can use to get this answer.
The first way is to use the graph. You can see that to get from Point A to Point B, the dots go over 1 and down 3. For the fraction, you put the amount that you go to the side (1) over the amount you go down (3) to get 1/3. Since the points go down gradually, the slope is negative, so 1/3 becomes -1/3.
The second way is to take the two points, (1, 4) and (2, 1) and subtract them. First, subtract the x-coordinate from Point B from Point A to get -1. Then do the same thing with the y-coordinates to get 3. Put the -1 over 3 because x comes before y, and you have your slope.

Answer:
A=5, B=3y
Step-by-step explanation:

Where is the picture for the problem?
There are two ways to approach this question. The first is to divide both sides of the equation by 1/4, which is the same as multiplying by 4.
4*(-10)=4*(1/4)(8y-12)
-40=1(8y-12)
-40=8y-12
-40+12=8y-12+12
-28=8y
-28/8=8y/8
-3.5=y
Another method is to distribute 1/4 to each term within the parentheses.
-10=8y*(1/4) - 12*(1/4)
-10=2y - 3
-10+3=2y - 3 +3
-7=2y
-7/2= 2y/2
-3.5=y
I hope this is helpful!
