The required equation of the line is y = -1/2x
<h3>Equation of a line</h3>
The standard equation of a line is expressed as y = mx + b
- where:
- m is the slope
- b is the y intercept
Given the coordinate points (0,0) and (4, -2)
Slope = -2/4 = -1/2
The intercept is 0 since the line pass through the origin
Hence the required equation of the line is y = -1/2x

It would take greater than 31.25 hours for Tim's price to be better. So in terms of whole hours it would take at least 32 hours of work for Tim's price to be better.
16.7 is the answer rounded to the nearest tenth.
You can answer this question by plugging the given values into point-slope form, which is y - y_{1} = m (x - x_{1}). M will represent slope and x_{1} and y_{1} will represent the x and y coordinates.
y - y_{1} = m (x - x_{1}) Substitute in the values
y - (-5) = 4 (m - 4) Cancel out the -(-5)
y + 5 = 4 (m - 4) Use the Distributive Property
y + 5 = 4m - 16 Subtract 5 from both sides
y = 4m - 21
