Answer:

J: x - 2y = -8

Step-by-step explanation:

All you have to do is plug in x or y as 0 for the y-intercept and the x-intercept, respectively. But, for these specific equations, looking at the constant when y isn't multiplied by any number but 1 will show the y-intercept. (e.g. 2x + y = -12, -12 is the y-intercept, 2x - y = -20 -> -2x + y = 20, 20 is the y-intercept)

F: y-intercept = -12 (incorrect)

G: y-intercept = 0 (incorrect)

H: y-intercept = 20 (incorrect)

J: y-intercept = 4 (correct)

A quadrilateral with vertices (-3,2),(-5,-4), (4,6), and (7,0) is dilated by a scale factor of 0.5.

Ksenya-84 [330]

Original vertices:
1 (-3, 2)
2 (-5,-4)
3 ( 4, 6)
4 ( 7, 0)

dilated by a scale factor of 0.50

1) -3*0.50 = -1.5 ; 2 * 0.50 = 1 ⇒ (-1.5,1)
2) -5*0.50 = -2.5 ; -4*0.50 = -2 ⇒(-2.5,-2)
3) 4*0.50 = 2; 6*0.50 = 3 ⇒ (2,3)
4) 7*0.50 = 3.5; 0*0.50 = 0 ⇒ (3.5,0)

B.)
-1.5 -2.5 2 3.5
 1 -2 3 0

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (-4, -2)(−4,−2) and (-4, -22) ?(−4,−22)? Write your answer in simpl

Anestetic [448]

The line is vertical, so the slope is infinite

Step-by-step explanation:

Given two points with coordinates $(x_1, y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ , the slope of the line passing through the two points is given by the equation
