Need Help ASAP What is the equation of the line shown in the graph?

The equation of a line is y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept (the point where the line crosses the y-axis). we can look at the graph and see that the line crosses the y axis at y = 4. Therefore, the y-intercept, b, is 4.

Now we must calculate the slope. To do so, we divide the "rise" of the line,
y₂ - y₁ by the "run" of the line x₂ - x₁. We must choose two points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) to find the slope. Two points are already given to us, (1, 2) and (4, -4):

m = (-4 - 2)/(4 - 1)

m = -6/3

m = -2

Now that we know the slope and the y-intercept, we can simply plug them back into the equation to find the equation of the line:

y = -2x + 4

in the equation 6x – 2 = –4x + 2, Spencer claims that the first step is to add 4x to both sides. Jeremiah claims that the first
trapecia [35]
Spencer would be the correct one because it's easier to keep your variables positive when trying to solve. Therefore, in order to keep the variable positive, one would have to add 4x to both sides.

The volume of this cylinder is 20,403.72 cubic yards. What is the radius? Use ​ ≈ 3.14 and round your answer to the nearest hund
MakcuM [25]
The formula for the volume of a cylinder is V=3.14r^2(h).
So substituting the volume: 20,403.72=3.14r^2(h).

To solve for ‘r’, divide both sides by 3.14h
r^2=6,498/h
Then find square root of both sides
r= sqrt(6,498/h)
Since ‘h’ is not specified here, it cannot be solved further.

klemol [59]
This is correct, because it takes 27 minutes to get home so it will probably be about 30 minutes.
