Answer:

y = -1/2(x -2)

or

y - 4 = -1/2(x + 6)

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Point-slope form: y - y1 = m(x - x1)

For point-slope form, you need two things:

  • A point (x1, y1)
  • The slope (m)

Given:

  • Points (-6, 4) and (2,0)

You already have at least one point, but you still need to find the slope.

To find the slope (m), use the formula: m = y2 - y1/x2 - x1

  • Select which point is your (x2, y2) and which is your (x1, y1)
  • NOTE: It doesn't matter which one you pick as long as you don't "mix-and-match" your x and y-coordinates
  • For example: you can't choose (-6,0) for a point.

I've chosen:

  • (x2, y2) = (2, 0)
  • (x1, y1) = (-6, 4)

Plug in the info into m = y2 - y1/x2 - x1:

  • m = 0 - 4/2 -(-6) = -4/2 + 6 = -4/8
  • Simplify: -4/8 = -1/2
  • m = -1/2

Now plug in the slope and ONE of the points into point-slope form

  • Tip: It doesn't matter which point you choose but I'd recommend choosing the point with all positive numbers, if you can, to prevent the confusion of double negatives:

Answers could be:

  • y = -1/2(x -2)
  • y - 4 = -1/2(x + 6)

<u>The area of the flooring:</u>

  • A = 1/2*8*(13.5 - 7.5) + 1/2(8 + 4 + 18)(7.5) = 136.5 ft²

<u>Cost of flooring:</u>

  • 136.5*$4.25 = $580.13

Ludmilka [50]
She has 6 1/3. The larger dress need 3 2/3. So 6 1/3 - 3 2/3 = 2 2/3
So Mrs. Rodriguez will need 2 2/3 for the smaller dress
