I think the answer is 6/15 because you need to triple the 20 mins meaning you triple the proportion.

Nope, the answer is three. Mean means the average of all the numbers. So all you have to do is to add the numbers up and divide the the amount of numbers with your sum.

A line has y intercept -6 and a x-intercept - 12. what is the equation of the line

koban [17]

Answer:

$\boxed{y = -\dfrac{1}{2}x-6}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for a straight line is

y = mx + b

where m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept.

The line passes through the points (-12, 0) and (0, 6)

(a) Calculate the slope of the line

$\begin{array}{rcl}m & =&\dfrac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}\\\\ & = &\dfrac{6 - 0 }{0 - (-12)}\\\\& = &\dfrac{6}{-12}\\\\& = & -\dfrac{1}{2}\\\end{array}$
