Answer:

the equation of this line is y = (-1/4)x + 7/4

Step-by-step explanation:

As we go from (−1, 2) to (3, 1), x increases by 4 and y decreases by 1.  Thus, the slope of the line connecting these points is m = rise / run = -1/4.

Find the equation of this line in slope-intercept form, y = mx + b.  Substitute 1 for y and 3 for x and calculate b:  

1 = (-1/4)(3) + b, or

4/4 = -3/4 + b, or

7/4 = b.

Then the equation of this line is y = (-1/4)x + 7/4.

You did not provide us with equations to select.

Find the slope m.

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

m = -1/(3 + 1)

m = -1/4

Use the slope and one of the points and plug into the point-slope formula.

y - 1 = (-1/4)(x - 3)

Isolate y.

y - 1 = (-1/4)x + (3/4)

y = (-1/4)x + (3/4) + 1

y = (-1/4)x + (7/4)

the area of a gymnasium floor is 264 square yard. the floor is 11 yards wide . how long is the floor?
Alekssandra [29.7K]
Area = Length x Width (A = L x W)

A = 264, W = 11, L = ?

Rewrite the equation to find L. In order to reverse multiplication, you must divide.

L = A / W

L = 264 / 11 = 24 yards

tim has 30 jellybeans, with equal numbers of three flavors—raspberry, pineapple, and orange. he likes raspberry the best. so far
Sloan [31]
There are 20 jellybeans remaining after the 6 orange and 4 pineapple jellybeans have been eaten.
Therefore 10 of the 20 remaining jellybeans must be raspberry. So there is a 1 in2 chance that the next one picked will be raspberry.
