By looking at the slant at which the line is going, you can tell if the line is negative or positive. This line is negative, so that removes two of the choices. By looking at where the line intersects the y-axis determines if its negative or positive. So the answer is D

Answer: The correct option is (D) y = -x + 2.

Step-by-step explanation: We are to select the correct equation that describes the given graph.

We can see that the graph is a straight line passing through the points (0, 2) and (1, 1).

So, the slope of the line will be

$m=\dfrac{2-1}{0-1}=-1.$

Therefore, the equation of the line with slope m = -1 and passing through the point (0, 2) is given by

$y-2=m(x-0)\\\\\Rightarrow y-2=-1\times x\\\\\Rightarrow y-2=-x\\\\\Rightarrow y=-x+2.$

Hence, the equation that describes the graph is y = -x + 2.

Thus, (D) is the correct option.

Carla is renting a canoe. It’s cost $80 for 2 hours and $160 for 4 hours. What is the rate per hour?

patriot [66]

<span>Carla is renting a canoe. It’s cost $80 for 2 hours and $160 for 4 hours. What is the rate per hour?

If we want to get a full understanding of this question we must use the information given.

If renting the canoe cost $80 per 2 hours, to get 1 hour we must divide $80 by 2.

</span> $\frac{80}{2}=40$

or $40

We can also use $160 and 4 hours

$\frac{160}{4}=40$

or $40

So the rate per hour is $40

find the length of each isosceles right triangle when the hypotenuse of the given measure given 5 to the square root of 6

iragen [17]

In isosceles right triangle, legs are equal. Let each leg is of x units . And the given hypotenuse is 5 square 6. We use pythagorean identity here, which is

$a^2 + b^2 = c^2$

Where a=b=x and c= 5 square root 6

$x^2 +x^2 =(5 \sqrt6)^2$

$2x^2 = 150$

$x^2 =75$

$x= 5 \sqrt 3$

And that's the length of both the legs . ANd that's the required answer .

The sum of three different numbers is 18. If every number is a prime number, what are the three numbers?

alexdok [17]

The sum of three primes is 18 so they must all be smaller than 18 as well.

Primes less than 18=2,3,5,7,11,13,17

2,3, and 13

2,5, and 11

There are two solutions...

At noon a tree cast a shadow that is 40' long the distance from the top of the tree to the 1st tip of the shadow is 60' what is

Alla [95]

The Pythagorean theorem can be used for this.
.. (tip distance)² = (shadow length)² + (tree height)²
.. tree height = √((tip distance)² -(shadow length)²)
.. tree height = √((60 ft)² -(40 ft)²) = √(2000 ft²)
.. tree height ≈ 44.72 ft
