Answer:

y = -2x - 8

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find the slope-intercept form of this equation. Slope-intercept form is denoted by: y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

We already know that the slope is -2, so that means m = -2.

We also know the y-intercept (or the point where the line crosses the y-axis) is (0, -8), which means b = -8.

Thus, our equation is: y = -2x - 8.

#1 is true. The term they have in common is y with an invisible coefficient in-front of the second y term

#2 has zero like terms. 15 has no variable, and the other terms have different variables.

#3 has two like terms, that’s 9 and 8 which add to equal 17. The answer is 3x + 17 aka D.

#4 has two like terms, the numbers with the variable ‘n’. 4n + 7n = 11n. Your answer is 11n + 12 aka D

Which table correctly shows all the sample spaces for tossing a coin and rolling an even number on a six-sided number cube?

wlad13 [49]

Alright, so you have to have heads and tails, as well as 3 spots each for each even number. Therefore, we need heads with 2 4 6 as well as tails with 2 4 6 (the third one down in the first picture)
