Let
x--------------> the third stone measure

we know that
the recommended height for the bench is ------> 20 in
20=[4 3/8]+[4 1/2]+[5 1/4]+[x]
4 3/8---------> (4*8+3)/8=35/8
4 1/2---------> (4*2+1)/2=9/2
5 1/4---------> (5*4+1)/4=21/4

20=[35/8]+[9/2]+[21/4]+[x]

x=20-(35+4*9+2*21)/8-----> 20-113/8------- > (8*20-113)/8

x=47/8---------- > 5.875=5 7/8

and Jack lost 1/4

Make a common denominator - let's use 12

Jill lost 4/12

Bill lost 2/12

Jack lost 3/12

Add them together = 9/12

reduce by dividing by 3.

What is the slope-intercept form of the equation of the line containing the points (−2, 4) and (6, 0)?

Nikolay [14]

The slope-intercept form of the equation of the line containing the points (−2, 4) and (6, 0) will be y =0.5 x+ 5.

<h3>What is the slope?</h3>

A numerical assessment of a line's angle relative to the ground is known as the slope.

The inclination of any line, ray, or line segment is the fraction of the perpendicular to the horizontal distance between any two positions on it.

The slope of the line is found as;

$\rm m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} \\\\ m = \frac{0-4}{6-(-2)} \\\\ m = \frac{-4}{8} \\\\ m = \frac{-1}{2}$
