What is an equation of the line that passes through the points (4, -6)and (8, -4)

Mathematics

Answer:

y = 1/2x - 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the line = rise / run

= (-4 - (-6)) / (8 - 4)

= 2/4

= 1/2.

Using the point/slope form of the equation of a line:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

Here we have m = 1/2 and (x1, y1) = (4, -6):

y - (-6) = 1/2 (x - 4)

y + 6 = 1/2x - 2

y = 1/2x - 8.

\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{4}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-6})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{8}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{-4}) \\\\\\ \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise} {\stackrel{y_2}{-4}-\stackrel{y1}{(-6)}}}{\underset{run} {\underset{x_2}{8}-\underset{x_1}{4}}}\implies \cfrac{-4+6}{4}\implies \cfrac{2}{4}\implies \cfrac{1}{2}

\bf \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{(-6)}=\stackrel{m}{\cfrac{1}{2}}(x-\stackrel{x_1}{4}) \\\\\\ y+6=\cfrac{1}{2}x-2\implies y=\cfrac{1}{2}x-8

GIVE THE RIGHT ANSWER AND PROVE THAT ITS RIGHT
SSSSS [86.1K]

a = 56

given 28 = \frac{1}{2} a

multiply both sides by 2 to eliminate the fraction

56 = a

As a check

\frac{1}{2} × 56 = 28 ← True

Olenka [21]

The question is an illustration of the Truth in Lending Act, and Dan is responsible for paying $0

<h3>Truth in Lending Act</h3>

The Truth in Lending Act is simply an act that protects people from unfair charges on their credit cards, especially in case of theft and card misplacement.

<h3>The scenarios</h3>

From the question, we have the following scenarios

  • His card got lost
  • He reported
  • Someone else saw the card and purchased goods worth over $200

Because Dan reported when his card got lost, he is protected by the Truth in Lending Act (TILA).

Hence, Dan is responsible for paying $0

The owners of the pet sitting business have set aside $48 to purchase chewy toys for dogs, 2,
Contact [7]

6 chewy toys and 6 cat collars are needed to have the same amount or price at both stores.

<h3>Equation</h3>

An equation is an expression used to show the relationship between two or more angles and variables.

Let x represent the number of dogs and y represent the number of cats collars. Hence:

At Marco's market:

2x + 6y = 48 (1)

At Sonia's superstore:

4x + 4y = 48  (2)

Graphing both equations, the solution is at (6,6)

6 chewy toys and 6 cat collars are needed to have the same amount or price at both stores.
