For this case we have that by definition, the equation in the form of slope-intersection is given by:
![y = mx + b](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=y%20%3D%20mx%20%2B%20b)
Where
Substituting the given point:
and the cutoff point
we can find the slope,
We have:
![-4 = m * 2-2\\-4 = 2m-2\\-4 + 2 = 2m\\-2 = 2m](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=-4%20%3D%20m%20%2A%202-2%5C%5C-4%20%3D%202m-2%5C%5C-4%20%2B%202%20%3D%202m%5C%5C-2%20%3D%202m)
![m =-\frac{2}{2}\\m = -1](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=m%20%3D-%5Cfrac%7B2%7D%7B2%7D%5C%5Cm%20%3D%20-1)
Thus, the equation is given by:
![y = -x-2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=y%20%3D%20-x-2)
Answer:
![y = -x-2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=y%20%3D%20-x-2)

Answer:
27 chickens
Step-by-step explanation:
A chicken farmer also has cows for a total of 30 animals
Both animals have a total of 66 legs
Let a represent the number of chicken
Let b represent the number of cows
a + b= 30........equation 1
Since a chicken has only two legs and a cow has four leg then, the expression can be represented as
2a + 4b= 66........equation 2
From equation 1
a + b= 30
a = 30-b
Substitute 30-b for a in equation 2
2a + 4b= 66
2(30-b) + 4b= 66
60 - 2b + 4b= 66
60 + 2b= 66
2b= 66-60
2b= 6
b= 6/2
b= 3
Substitute 3 for b in equation 1
a + b = 30
a + 3=30
a= 30-3
a= 27
Hence the farmer has 27 chickens
I believe it’s even can you tell me if I’m wrong pls
