Answer:

y=-1/2x+1

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the points to find the slope of the line.

Equation: y₂-y₁/x₂-x₁

2-4/-2-(-6)

2-4/-2+6

-2/4

-1/2 is the slope of the line

So the equation is y=-1/2x+b

We can substitute one of the x-coordinates and the matching y-coordinate into this equation:

2=-1/2*(-2)+b

2=1+b

1=b

b=1

Therefore, the equation is y=-1/2x+1

Ahat [919]

The percent increase in enrollment is 6 %

The operation used in first step is finding the difference between final value and initial value

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Given that This year, 1,272 students enrolled in night courses a a local college

Last year only 1,200 students enrolled.

To find: percent increase in the enrollment

The percent increase between two values is the difference between a final value and an initial value, expressed as a percentage of the initial value.

<em><u>The percent increase is given as:</u></em>

\text { percentage increase }=\frac{\text { final value - initial value}}{\text { initial value }} \times 100

Here initial value (last year) = 1200 and final value(this year) = 1272

Substituting the values in above formula,

\begin{aligned}&\text { percentage increase }=\frac{1272-1200}{1200} \times 100\\\\&\text { percentage increase }=\frac{72}{1200} \times 100=6\end{aligned}

Thus percent increase is 6 %

First, multiply 1,127 & 1 by 2
1127 x 2 = 2254
1 x 2 = 2

so that’s 2,254 cups & 2 fl. ounces
since 8 fl. oz. make a cup, and we only have 2, the answer stays as it is

2,254 cups & 2 fl. ounces

HELP ME ITS TIMED AND I WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST!!!!!
Olegator [25]

To find the gradient of a line we first hv to find the formula

so Gradient=√X1-x2and √y1-y2

((-2,1) and (0,-5)) line 1

line 2(0,-1) and (1,0)

first we will work for line 1

X1 is -2

X2 is -0

Y1 is 1

Y2 is -1

so y=x-1

so we substitute the values

1--1=-2--0

so,

1+1=-2+0

2=-2

-0

So the equation 1 line 1 is not true

we will now go to equation 2 line 2

the equation is 3x+y=-5

we substitute the values

3(-2--0)+1--1=-5

3(-2)+-2=-5

-6+-2=-5

-8= -5

group like terms

Ur answer should look like this -3

So the answer is 3x+y=-5
