What are the slope and y intercept of the line described by the equation y=-4/5x -10

Mathematics

The slope is -\frac{4}{5} and y-intercept is -10

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation is:

y = -\frac{4}{5}x-10

The given equation is in slope-intercept form

General form of slope-intercept form of equation of line is:

y = mx+b

Here

m is the slope

b is the y-intercept

So,

comparing both equation we get

The coefficients of x

m = -\frac{4}{5}

And

b = -10

Hence,

The slope is -\frac{4}{5} and y-intercept is -10

Keywords: Slope, equation of line

<span>Alice Correa bought three yards of cloth to make a dress
The cloth was on sale for 1.93 per yard.
Now,  how much did Alice pay for the cloth if the sales tax was 5%.
Let’ solve for the answer
=> 3 yard of clothes were both.
=> Price of clothes are 1.93 dollars per yard
=> then another sales tax is added which is 5%
=> 3 yards * 1.93 dollars = 5.79 dollars
=> 5.79 dollars * .05 = 0.2895
=> 5.79 + 0.2895
=> 6.08 dollars.

What is the equation of the directrix of a parabola defined by the equation y = x2 − 2x − 3?

How does a small outlier affect the data set?
leva [86]
A small outlier could affect the whole data set because it could reduce the mean, or make the average of the whole data set smaller.

An example would be the data set could be 1, 8, 9, 10

To find the mean you would add everything together then divide it by the number of numbers you just added together. The mean of this set would be 28/4 which equals 7. Now, if the outlier were -8 instead of 1, then the mean would be much different.

~Hope this helped!~
