The weight of 72 books is 9 kg.what is the weight of 80 such books? How many such books would weigh 6kg?
Alex17521 [72]
9 divided by 72 = 0.125
0.125 is the weight of one book
0.125 times 80 = 10kg.
So 80 books weight 10kg.
72 divided by 9 = 8 books make up 1 kg.
8 times 6 =48

Which equation in slope intercept represents the line that goes through the points (-1, 6) and (1, -2)
Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

D) y=-4x+2

Step-by-step explanation:

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m=(-2-6)/(1-(-1))

m=-8/(1+1)

m=-8/2

m=-4

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y-6=-4(x-(-1))

y-6=-4(x+1)

y=-4x-4+6

y=-4x+2
