Yintercept is the point where the line crosses the y axis and where x=0
(x,y)
yintercept at y=b is
(0,b)
Answer:
y = -3/2 x +5
Step-by-step explanation:
slope = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m= (8--1)/(-2-4)
m= (8+1)/(-2-4)
m= (9/-6)
m=-3/2
point slope form
y-y1=m(x-x1)
y--1 = -3/2(x-4)
distribute
y+1 = -3/2x +3/2 *4
y+1 = -3/2x + 6
subtract 1 from each side
y = -3/2 x +6-1
y = -3/2 x +5
this is in slope intercept form (y=mx+b)

Answer: 155 inches</h3>
This is equivalent to approximately 12.917 feet.
===================================================
Work Shown:
(10 inches)/(2 days) = (x inches)/(31 days)
10/2 = x/31
10*31 = 2*x ... cross multiply
310 = 2x
2x = 310
x = 310/2
x = 155
Keep in mind that this water is being drained on a fairly continuous basis. This means that not all of the water is sticking around (we'd hope not anyway) at the same moment in time.
Note: 155 inches = 155/12 = 12.917 feet approximately.
--------------------------
Alternative method:
If the town got 10 inches in 2 days, this means it rains at a unit rate of 10/2 = 5 inches per day.
Multiply that by 31 days and we get 5*31 = 155 inches of total rain.
Answer:
Any line with slope 1/4 like y=1/4x -5.
Step-by-step explanation:
Parallel lines never cross and therefore have the same exact slope. Since slope intercept form is y=mx+b and m is slope, then y=1/4x+2 has a slope of 1/4. Any line with a slope of 1/4 will be parallel. Example: y=1/4x - 5
