Steps to find the equation
1. Find the slope
2. Insert slope into the general equation
3. Find y-intercept
4. Insert -intercept into the equation found in step 2
And you get the equation of the line

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Find the slope
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2y - x = 4

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rewrite into the form y = mx + c
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2y = x + 4
y = 1/2 x + 2

Slope = 1/2
Perpendicular slope = -2 (negative reciprocal)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Insert slope into the equation
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
y = mx + c
y = -2x + c

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Find y-intercept
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
y = -2x + c
At point (1, 2)
2 = -2(1) + c
2 = -2 + c
c = 4

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Insert y-intercept into the equation y = -2x + c
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
y = -2x + 4

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: y = -2x + 4

Caroline bakes brownies to give to her friends. She starts with 48 brownies and gives a brownie to 6 friends each hour until she
Dmitrij [34]

Answer: The  below figure shows the graph of the given situation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, at first Caroline has brownies= 48

And, according to the question, it is decreasing by 6 per hour.

Then, the function of the given situation can be written as,

f(x)=48 - 6 x,     ------ (1)

where,  x is the number of hours and f(x) is the number of brownies Caroline has left in x hour.

Thus by substitution x= 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 in equation (1),

We get, f(x)=48, 42, 36, 30, 24, 18, 12, 6, 0

So, the function has points, (0, 48), (1, 42), (2, 36), (3, 30), (4, 24), (5,18 ),(6,12 ) (7, 6) (8, 0).

With help of the above points we can draw the graph of the given situation.

Note: since at x=8, f(x)=0 therefore after 8 hours she has no brownies left.

Three single-digit numbers multiply to make 504 Write the missing numbers
boyakko [2]
We will guess and check to solve this problem

504/9= 56
504/8= 63
504/7= 72
504/6= 84
.....
we can continue the pattern. However, we know that 50 is the product of 8 and 7, so we can use that number

9*8*7=504
