We know that there are 16 pieces left and that the ratio is 3 : 5. The ratio teels us there are 8 "parts" inside (because 3 + 5 = 8), so now we may just divide 16 by 8 to find out how much is one such "part":

16 ÷ 8 = 2

Now we can see that one "part" of the ratio is for 2 pieces. So if the ratio of black to red pieces is 3 : 5, then there are 3 * 2 = 6 red pieces and <u>5 * 2 = 10 black bieces</u>.

Write the equation of the line in slope intercept form Slope=-4 Point=(2,-4)
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

y=2x-8

or

f(x)=2x-8

Step-by-step explanation:

To write in slope-intercept form using this information, first use the point slope formula.

y-y1=m(x-x1)

m is slope.

y+4=2(x-2)

Use distributive property on the right side.

y+4=2x-4

Now, subtract 4 from both sides.

y+4-4=2x-4-4

y=2x-8

Written using function notation:

f(x)=2x-8

Hope this helps!

If not, I am sorry.

Find the value of y if the value of x is 2 for each equation and match it with the appropriate result.
Xelga [282]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  3, 0, 2, -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Put x=2 into each equation and solve for y.

<u>2 + y = 5</u>

  y = 5 -2

  y = 3

<u>3x +2y = 6</u>

  3·2 +2y = 6

  2y = 6 -6 = 0

  y = 0

<u>2x +y = 6</u>

  2·2 +y = 6

  y = 6 -4

  y = 2

<u>5x +3y = 4</u>

  5·2 +3y = 4

  3y = 4 -10 = -6

  y = -2
