How do you rewrite y+4=-2(x-1) in slope-intercept form

First, distribute -2 into the parentheses which gives you y+4=-2x+2. Subtract 4 to both sides and you get y=-2x-2. This would be the slope-intercept form of the original equation.

Slope Intercept Form (SIF) is the standard way to write the equation for a line on a graph. It can be represented as

y=mx+b where "m" is the slope and "b" is the y-intercept.

To put an equation in SIF, we must simply solve the equation like we are solving for y, and then order and simplify our terms.

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

There is no more simplifying to do, so this equation is y=-2x-2 in Slope Intercept Form.

Alex went to the grocery store and bought 5 avocados. He paid $10 and received $4.50 in change. How much did each avocado cost i

Answer:

$1.10

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been that Alex went to the grocery store and bought 5 avocados. He paid $10 and received $4.50 in change.

First of all, we will find amount paid for 5 avocados by subtracting $4.50 from $10.

$\text{Amount paid for 5 avocados}=\$10-\$4.50$

$\text{Amount paid for 5 avocados}=\$5.50$

Now, we will divide $5.50 by 5 to find cost of each avocado.

$\text{Cost of each avocado}=\frac{\$5.50}{5}$

$\text{Cost of each avocado}=\$1.10$

Therefore, the cost of each avocado is $1.10.

That's a copy of the figure from the other post; I didn't look at the answer.

We have Start(0,0)

$A(-16.55\cos 25, -16.55 \sin 25)$

$B=A+(5 \cos 53, 5 \sin 53)$

$C=B+(20,0)$

$C=(-16.55\cos 25 + 5 \cos 53+20, -16.55 \sin25 - 5 \sin 53)$

$C \approx (8.00968, -10.9875) \approx(8,-11)$

Your team takes the direct path at a constant speed of 6 miles per hour.

Our team. $T=\sqrt{8^2+11^2}/6 = 2.27 \textrm{ hours}$

Team Red follows the riddle and travels at 8 mph from Start to Post A, 9 mph from Post A to Post B, and 11 mph from Post B to Finish.

$T=16.55/8 + 5/9 + 20/11 = 4.44 \textrm{ hours}$

Team Blue follows the riddle and travels at a constant speed of 10 mph.

 $T=(16.55 + 5 + 20)/10 = 4.155 \textrm{ hours}$

Team Yellow follows the riddle and travels at a constant speed of 11 mph, but stops at Post A for 30 minutes and stops again at Post B for another 30 minutes.

$T=(16.55 + 5 + 20)/11 + 30/60 + 30/60=4.78 \textrm{ hours}$

Winner: our team, then Blue, then Red, then Yellow
