Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of a slope:

$m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

We have the slope m = 1 and the points (-4, y) and (-2, 8). Substitute:

$1=\dfrac{8-y}{-2-(-4)}$

$1=\dfrac{8-y}{2}$ <em>multiply both sides by 2</em>

$2=8-y$ <em>subtract 8 from both sides</em>

$-6=-y$ <em>change the signs</em>

$6=y\to y=6$

the height of a tree was 8 feet. after a year, tree's height increased by 25%. use a bar diagram to find the new height of the t

marysya [2.9K]

8×.25=2
8-2=6
so what you would do is make a bar graph where the y axis would be years and the x axis being height

A small hexagon was graphed on a coordinate plane. By what scale factor was the hexagon dilated to create the larger hexagon?

suter [353]

Consider the point where the hexagons meet the positive half of the y axis.

The inner hexagon meets the axis at $y=4$ , whereas the outer hexagon meets the axis at $y = 6$

So, we're looking for a dilation constant $k$ such that

$4k = 6$

So, solving by k we have

$k = \dfrac{6}{4} = \dfrac{3}{2}$

Graph the following lines and write the equation in slope-intercept form. Through the point (2,−4) with y-intercept of −2.

CaHeK987 [17]

For this case we have that by definition, the equation in the form of slope-intersection is given by:

$y = mx + b$

Where

m is the slope

b is the cut point

Substituting the given point: $(x, y) = (2, -4)$ and the cutoff point $b = -2$ we can find the slope,

We have:

$-4 = m * 2-2\\-4 = 2m-2\\-4 + 2 = 2m\\-2 = 2m$

$m =-\frac{2}{2}\\m = -1$

Thus, the equation is given by:

$y = -x-2$

Answer:

$y = -x-2$
