Answer: option B is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a straight line can be represented in the slope-intercept form, y = mx + c

Where c = intercept

Slope, m =change in value of y on the vertical axis / change in value of x on the horizontal axis represent

change in the value of y = y2 - y1

Change in value of x = x2 -x1

y2 = final value of y

y 1 = initial value of y

x2 = final value of x

x1 = initial value of x

The line passes through (- 5, - 2) and (3, - 1),

y2 = - 1

y1 = - 2

x2 = 3

x1 = - 5

Slope,m = (- 1 - - 2)/(3 - - 5) = 1/8

To determine the intercept, we would substitute x = 3, y = - 1 and

m = 1/8 into y = mx + c. It becomes

- 1 = 1/8 × 3 + c

- 1 = 3/8 + c

c = - 1 - 3/8 = - 11/8

The equation becomes

y = x/8 - 11/8

Answer:

b.   y = 1/8 x - 11/8.

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope = rise / run

= (-1 -( -2)) / (3 - (-5))

=   1/ 8.

y = mx + c  where m = the slope and c = the y-intercept, so we have:

y = 1/8 x + c   Substituting  the point  x = 3 and y = -1:

-1 = 1/8 (3) + c

c = -1 - 1/8 (3)

c = -1 3/8 = -11/8

\frac{1}{6} + \frac{1}{12}


We know that:


\frac{a}{b} + \frac{c}{d} = \frac{a.d + b.c}{bd}


So,


\frac{1}{6} + \frac{1}{12} = \frac{1.12+6.1}{6.12}

\frac{12+6}{72}

\frac{18}{72}

\frac{9}{36}

\frac{3}{12}

\frac{1}{4}

What is the equation of a line that has a slope of 0 and a y-intercept of 4
finlep [7]

Answer:

y = 4

since you cant have y = 0x + 4, you drop the x and have a straight line (slope of 0) that runs all along the y point of 4.
