1) Find the graph of a line passing through (-1, 4) and (2, 0).
The slope of two points can be determined by dividing the difference of y-values by the difference of x-values:

The slope of this equation is -4/3. Inputting this into the slope-intercept form of an equation, we get:

To find b, substitute x and y for one of the given coordinate pairs:
0 = (-4/3)(2) + b
0 = -8/3 + b
8/3 = b
Substitute the b value into the equation to finish the line:

Given the information from the study, the average soil saturation for the county last year is 1.2 times the saturation reported for the Northwest part of the county this year.
<span>Also, the average soil saturation for the county last year is 0.25 of the saturation reported for the Southeast part of the county this year.</span>
Answer: 6 x 10^12
Step-by-step explanation:
Move the decimal to the left so there is one non-zero digit number left of the decimal point. This will be the exponent placed on 10
