Y=mx+b, where m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1) and b is equal to the value of y when x=0

We are given the point (0,0) so we know b=0, now just find the slope...

m=(-3-0)/(4-0)=-3/4 so the line is:

y=-3x/4

we have that

The line passes through the points A(0,0)\ B(4,-3)

If the point passes through the origin

then

The linear equation is a direct variation

Remember that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a direct variation if it can be expressed in the form y/x=k or y=kx

In this case the constant of proportionality k is equal to the slope of the line

Find the value of k

y/x=k

Substitute the values of x and y of the point B

-3/4=k

k=-\frac{3}{4}

the equation of the line is

y=-\frac{3}{4}x

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

y=-\frac{3}{4}x

What's 4.88 rounded to the nearest tenth......
Ugo [173]
The first decimal point is tenth. 4.88
when rounding, we just look at the number right after the number you want to round to. it's 8 right? since 8 is closer to 10 than 0,
we round it to 4.9
                  (4.8 + 0.10)

Which equations represent the line that is parallel to 3x − 4y = 7 and passes through the point (−4, −2)? Select two options.
Elanso [62]

Answer:

2 and 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of a line is y=mx-b where m is slope and b is y-intercept.

The point-slope form of a line is y-y1=m(x-x1) where m is the slope and (x1,y1) is a point on the line.

The standard form a line is ax+by=c.

So anyways parallel lines have the same slope.

So if we are looking for a line parallel to 3x-4y=7 then we need to know the slope of this line so we can find the slope of our parallel line.

3x-4y=7

Goal: Put into slope-intercept form

3x-4y=7

Subtract 3x on both sides:

  -4y=-3x+7

Divide both sides by -4:

   y=\frac{-3}{-4}x+\frac{7}{-4}

Simplify:

   y=\frac{3}{4}x+\frac{-7}{4}

So the slope of this line is 3/4.  So our line that is parallel to this one will have this same slope.

So we know our line should be in the form of y=\frac{3}{4}x+b.

To find b we will use the point that is suppose to be on our new line here which is (x,y)=(-4,-2).

So plugging this in to solve for b now:

-2=\frac{3}{4}(-4)+b

-2=-3+b

3-2=b

b=1

so the equation of our line in slope-intercept form is y=\frac{3}{4}x+1

So that isn't option 1 because the slope is different.  That was the only option that was in slope-intercept form.

The standard form of a line is ax+by=c and we have 2 options that look like that.

So let's rearrange the line that we just found into that form.

y=\frac{3}{4}x+1

Clear the fractions because we only want integer coefficients by multiplying both sides by 4.

This gives us:

4y=3x+4

Subtract 3x on both sides:

-3x+4y=4

I don't see this option either.

Multiply both sides by -1:

3x-4y=-4

I do see this as a option. So far the only option that works is 2.

Let's look at point slope form now.

We had the point that our line went through was (x1,y1)=(-4,-2) and the slope,m, was 3/4 (we found this earlier).

y-y1=m(x-x1)

Plug in like so:

y-(-2)=3/4(x-(-4))

y+2=3/4 (x+4)

So option 5 looks good too.

During a sale at a bookstore, a customer buys one book at full price. The customer is given a 25 percent discount on a second bo
RoseWind [281]
Amount paid for the first book is $17.

Amount paid for the second book is 0.75 x 8 = $6

Total amount paid = $17 + $6 = $23

Total full cost of the two books = $17 + $8 = $25

Amount of discount = $25 - $23 = $2

% reduction = \frac{2}{25} \times100\%=8\%

Therefore, the <span>percent of the total cost of the two books reduced during the sale</span> is 8%
