You can use point-intercept formula, m=3/5, y1=-4, x1=2
(y-y1)=m(x-x1)
y+4=3/5(x-2)
y+4=(3/5)x-6/5
y=(3/5)x-6/5-4
y=(3/5)x-6/5-20/5
y=(3/5)x-26/5            or  y=0.6x - 5.2

Comment
The slope is just read, and the point is used to determine b in the general equation.

General Formula
y = mx + b

Givens
m = 3/5
b is derived from (2,-4)

Derivation
y = 3/5 x + b The slope is solved.

y = -4 when x = 2
-4 = 3/5 2 + b
-4 = 3*2/5 + b
-4 = 6/5 + b              Subtract 6/5 from both sides
-4 - 6/5 = b               Multiply top and bottom of 4 by 5 to bring it to a common denominator of 5
 \frac{-4*5}{1*5}-\frac{6}{5}=\text{b}
-26/5  = b

Final equation
y = 3/5 x - 26/5 <<<<<< answer

Reptile [31]

    These points show that this is not going to be a linear line. This is actually a parabola.

    I find that the function rule is going to be

y=6x^2

PLEASE HELP!
Degger [83]

Answer:

Perimeter = 21.58 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of a polygon = Sum of measures of all sides of the polygon

Perimeter of the quadrilateral LEAP = PL + AE + EL + LP

                                                            = 4.47 + 4.47 + 6.32 + 6.32

                                                            = 21.58 units

[If the distances between two point are not given, use the formula to calculate the distance between two points (x_1, y_1) and (x_2,y_2)

Distance = \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}]

A bag contains 7 red marbles, 5 yellow marbles, 6 blue marbles, 4 green marbles, and 3 orange marbles. What is the probability o
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

A. 1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Add all the numbers up, you get 25. There is 5 yellow marbles, so that's a 5/25 chance of picking a yellow one, now you just have to simplify, you then get 1/5, because 5 ÷ 5 is 1, and 25 ÷ 5 is 5.
