To get the equation of the line, you need two points that belong to this line.
From the given graph, we can choose any two points: (0,-4) and (-2,0)

The general for of the linear straight line is:
y = mx + c where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept

First, we will calculate the slope using the following rule:
slope = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)
slope (m) = (0--4) / (-2-0) = 4/-2 = -2
The equation of the line now is: y = -2x + c

Then, we will get the value of the c. To do so, we will choose any point and substitute in the equation. I will choose the point (0,-4)
y = -2x + c
-4 = -2(0) + c
c = -4

Based on the above calculations, the equation of the line is:
y = -2x - 4

Answer:

$\text{d.}\quad a_n=-2.25(2)^{n-1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The common ratio is given as 2, so the base of any exponential must be 2 (not -2 or 2.25). The 4th term is negative, so the initial value must be negative (since the multiplying factor is positive). The only selection matching these requirements is d.

You know the general term is ...

... an = a1·r^(n-1)

so the 4th term is

... -18 = a1·2^(4-1) = 8·a1

Then the first term is ...

... a1 = -18/8 = -2.25 . . . . . confirms our choice of answer d.

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2 represents every fraction, where the denominator (bottom part) is twice the numerator (top part).

like 4/8 or 6/12 or 128/256 or ...

what do we need in the denominator to calculate with 15/16 ?

the same : 16.

and what is half of 16 ? 8.

so, we need the 1/2 based on 16th = 8/16.

so, the dog ate 8/16 (1/2) of the original 15/16.

what was left was

15/16 - 8/16 = 7/16 pound

Answer:

∠ DFE = 15°

Step-by-step explanation:

The inscribed angle DFE is half the measure of its intercepted arc, that is

∠ DFE = $\frac{1}{2}$ DE = $\frac{1}{2}$ × 30° = 15°

Part A Simplify:

Answer is - 12b + 6c + 18

Part B

Answer is (D)

Factor/simplify
- 12b + 6c + 18

6(- 2b + c + 3)
= (6)(- 2b + c + 3)
= (6)(- 2b ) + (6)(c) + (6)(3)
= - 12b + 6c + 18

therefore,- 12b + 6c + 18; Factored in GCF is 6(-2b + c + 3)

- 12b + 6c + 18
reorder the terms
18 + 12b + 6c

Factor out the GCF " 6"
6(3 + 2b + c)

Final Result:
6(3 + 2b + c)

Hope this helps
