We can use the points (2, 8) and (4, 12) to solve.

Slope formula: y2-y1/x2-x1

= 12-8/4-2

= 4/2

= 2

Based on the question, we need to put the equation in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b).

Let's solve for the y-intercept. (We can use the point 2, 8 to solve).

y = 2x + b

8 = 2(2) + b

8 = 4 + b

8 - 4 = 4 + b - 4

4 = b

Now, that we know what the slope and y-intercept is we can put this into the final equation.

y = 2x + 4 (third option)

Best of Luck!

My name is Ann [436]
A <span>The pair of shoes costs $52.99, so p = 52.99.
The state sales tax is 8%, which can be changed to decimal form by dividing by 100: 8/100 = 0.08. So r = 0.08.
Now you can plug both of these values into the formula to find the total cost of the shoes (c):

c = p + r*p
c = 52.99 + (0.08)*(52.99)
c = 52.99 + 4.2392
c = 57.2292
So the total cost of the shoes is $57.23.</span>

Slope = (-2 + 4)/(-2-2) = 2/-4 = -1/2

y = mx + b
so
b = y - mx
b = -2 -(-1/2)(-2)
b = -2 - 1
b = - 3

equation
y = -1/2x - 3

answer is B.
y = -1/2x - 3

If x + 3/ 3 = y + 2/ 2 , then x/ 3 = _______.
Naddik [55]

Answer:

The correct answer is y/2

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

(x + 3)/ 3 = (y + 2)/ 2

<u>To find x/3</u>

(x + 3)/ 3 = (y + 2)/ 2

⇒ x/3 + 3/3 = (y + 2)/2

x/3 + 1 =  (y + 2)/2

x/3 =  (y + 2)/2 - 1

x/3 =  (y + 2)/2 -2/2

x/3 = (y + 2 - 2)/2

x/3 = y/2

Therefore the correct answer is x/3 = y/2

Graphing a line given its slope and y-intercept
kifflom [539]

Answer:

  see below for a graph

Step-by-step explanation:

One point can be plotted at the y-intercept: (0, -2). Since the slope tells you the line drops 3 units for each 2 units to the right, the point (2, -5) will be another point on the line. The graph will go through those two points.
