<h3>Answer:   f(x) = (4/7)x + 20/7</h3>

================================================

Explanation:

We have

f(-5) = 0 and f(2) = 4

This means the two points (-5,0) and (2,4) are on this line

----------

Find the slope of the line through (x1,y1) = (-5,0) and (x2,y2) = (2,4)

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

m = (4 - 0)/(2 - (-5))

m = (4 - 0)/(2 + 5)

m = 4/7 is the slope

----------

Plug m = 4/7 and (x1,y1) = (-5,0) into the point-slope formula. Solve for y.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 0 = (4/7)(x - (-5))

y = (4/7)(x + 5)

y = (4/7)x + (4/7)*5

y = (4/7)x + 20/7

f(x) = (4/7)x + 20/7

This linear equation has a slope of 4/7 and a y intercept of 20/7.

Answer:

f(x) = 4/7x + 20/7

Step-by-step explanation:

If we were to graph this function, we would see that the two points would be, (-5, 0), and (2, 4). First, we have to find the slope, which is equal to:

<u>(first y-coordinate - the second y coordinate)</u>

(first x-coordinate - second x coordinate)

= <u>(0 - 4)</u>

   (-5 - 2)

= -4/-7 = 4/7. now, we multiple -5 by 4/7 and get -20/7. we have to add 20/7.

Thus, the answer is f(x) = 4/7x + 20/7

Art [367]

Answer:

D. 15×4/100×4 = 60/400

Step-by-step explanation:

First I figured out how many photos there are in total, which was by doing 60/.15, since only 15% of the total photos are in black and white. We can already cross out all possibilities that don't have the denominator 400, but we can go a step further by seeing which one is 60/400, or equal to 60/400, which is D. 15×4/100×4 = 60/400.

3 (x-4) = 12x<br><br> What is the value of x.<br> Will give brainliest to first answer
diamong [38]

Answer:

x = -\frac{4}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Distributive Property:

3 (x - 4) = 12x

3x - 12 = 12x

Combine like terms and isolate the variable:

3x - 12 = 12x

-12 = 9x

-\frac{4}{3} = x

x = -\frac{4}{3}
