Answer:

The required equation is x + 4y = 8 !!

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :-  the line passes through the point ( 0 , 2 ) and the slope of the line is ( -1/4 )

• Also, to form an equation when a point through which line passes and slope of line is given we use the formula ;

( y - y1 ) = m ( x - x1 )

Where , y and x are variables

and ( x1 , y1 ) are the points through which line passes

also, m = slope of the required line

Here , x1 = 0 , y1 = 2 and m = ( -1/4 )

ivanzaharov [21]

(24+2)+2=28.

First, you work with the parentheses. (24+2)=26. So now your expression is 26+2. Lastly, you solve the expression. 26+2=28.

What is the slope of the line that contains these points? Slope:

Semenov [28]

Answer:

-4

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope formula:

m=y2-y1/x2-x1

I will use (-1,10) and (1,2)

2-10/1-(-1)

Which is

-8/2

Divide:

-4

Thus the slope is -4

In the function y=5x^2-2, what effect does the number 5 have on the graph, as compared to the graph of y=x^2?

allochka39001 [22]

General Idea:

The Rules for Transformations of Functions are given below:

If f(x) is the original function, a > 0 and c > 0; Then

$f(x)+k \; \; shift \; f(x) \; UPWARD \; k \; units\\\\f(x)-k \; \; shift \; f(x) \; DOWNWARD \; k \; units\\\\f(x+h) \; \; shift \; f(x) \; LEFT \; h \; units\\\\f(x-h) \; \; shift \; f(x) \; RIGHT \; h \; units\\\\-f(x) \; \; REFLECT \; f(x) \; in \; the \; x-axis\\\\f(-x) \; REFLECT \; f(x) \; in \; the \; y-axis\\\\a \cdot f(x), \; a>1 \; STRETCH \; f(x) \; vertically \; by \; a \; factor \; of \; a\\\\a \cdot f(x), \; 0$

$f(ax), \; a>1 \; SHRINK \; f(x) \; horizontally \; by \; a \; factor \; of \;\frac{1}{a} .\\\\f(ax), \; 0$

Applying the concept:

In the function y=5x^2-2, the effect that the number 5 have on the graph, as compared to the graph of y=x^2 is given below:

C.it stretches the graph vertically by a factor of 5

Answer:

You do total/volume
13150/640= 20 with a remainder of 350
Meaning 350 acres of land are not within a square mile

plz hurry 82 points help plzThe rental rate for a power washer has a one time fee of $50 plus $25 for each day of the rental. Th

Sveta_85 [38]

Answer: y = 25x + 50

Explanation: the total cost if the rental is a linear function of the number of days of the rental (x). Each day costs $25, so that is the slope of the line. Since there is also a one-time fee, independent of the number of days, this amount $50 represents a vertical shift of the line on the graph, by 50. y=25x+50 is an algebraic expression of that.
