Answer:

y = -1/2 x - 3.5

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx+ b

m is the slope of the line

m = -1/2

b is the y-intercept

b = -3.5

Answer:

y=(-1/2)x-3.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the equation (rise/run) with the two marked points, we find that the slope is (1/-2), or -1/2.

The y-intercept, as seen in the graph, is -3.5.

Once you plug the slop and y-intercept into y=mx+b, you get your equation: y=(-1/2)x-3.5

To check your answer, swap x and y out for values of a point on the line. With the point (1, -4)..:

-4=(-1/2)1-3.5

-4=(-1/2)-3.5

-4=-4

GarryVolchara [31]

Answer: C

Step-by-step explanation:

$y=-2$ is dotted and shaded below, so it represents $y < -2$ .

Also, $x+y=1$ is shaded above, so it represents $x+y < 1$ .

A down arrow is drawn with its tip at (2, 0). Then it undergoes a translation described bythe directed line segment (−3, 1). Wha

alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

down

Step-by-step explanation:

In mathematics a when dealing with graphs a translation is basically just moving points left/right and up/down but it does not change the shape of the original figure in any way just moves its position. In this scenario, the down arrow's tip will be moved from point (2,0) to (-3,1) but the arrow will still be the same size and still be pointing downward.

How do you solve this whole thing please?

NemiM [27]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's look at the first two, and hopefully you'll be able to figure the rest out:

1. Answer below

$d = rt$

The problem asks us to solve for $r$ , so that means we need to get $r$ on one side of the equation by itself. To do so, we will need to divide both sides of the equation by $t$ :

$\frac{d}{t} = \frac{rt}{t}$

$\frac{d}{t} = r$

2. Answer below

$B = T - Lc$

The problem asks us to solve for $T$ , so that means we need to get $T$ on one side of the equation by itself. To do so, we will need to add $Lc$ to both sides of equation:
