Answer:

y = -1/6 x + 11

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to write an equation of a line you need slope (m) and y-intercept (b) or where the graph grosses the y- axis. since you are given two points (6, 10) and (4, -2). Slope when given two points is (y - y) / (x - x)

                                                                  so (-2 - 10) / (6 - 4) = 6 / - 1 =- 6

use the equation y = mx + b and substitute either point (6, 10) or (4, -2) as a replacement for x and y respectively. (I chose (6, 10) because they are positive numbers. Substituting x = 6 and y = 10 and m = -6  into y = mx + b

10 = -6(6) + b

10 = -36 + b

b = 46 (add -36 to both sides)

so our equation: y = -6x + 46 :-)

Answer:

y = 6x - 26

Step-by-step explanation:

1. find slope: (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)

(-2 - 10) / (4 - 6) = -12 / -2 = 6

basic equation: y = 6x + b

2. plug in (x,y) value using one set of coordinates.

10 = 6(6) + b

10 = 36 + b

b = 10 - 36

b = -26

3. plug b in to find full equation.

y = 6x -26

andrew11 [14]

Answer:

A farmer has enough food to feed 20 animals in his cattle for 6 days. How long would the food last if there were 10 more animals in his cattle? Here the number of animals and the number of days are in inverse proportion. Hence the food will last 4 days.
