Answer:
y = -(5/2)x -2
Explanation:
The general formula for a straight line is y – mx + b.
The image below shows the graph of the line.
Step 1. <em>Calculate the slope</em>.
Slope = m = Δy/Δx = (y₂-y₁)/(x₂-x₁)
x₁ = 0; y₁ = -2
x₂ = -2; y₂ = 3 Calculate m
m = [3-(-2)]/(-2-0)
m = (3+2)/(-2)
m = 5/(-2)
m = -5/2
Step 2. <em>Calculate the y-intercept </em>
When x = 0, y = 2.
The y-intercept (b) is at y = -2
Step 3. <em>Write the equation </em>for the graph
y = mx + b
y = -(5/2)x - 2
Answer:
x + 4y ≤ 15; y ≥ 0
Step-by-step explanation:
The graph doesn't do a very good job of modeling any of the given equations. However, the equations listed above seem the best fit.
The slope of the top (left) line is negative, so the equation will be of the form ...
x + 4y = something
When y=0, x=15, so the "something" is expected to be 15.
However, the line appears to go through points (6, 2) and (-2, 4). Both of these points are on the line x + 4y = 14.
The graph is shaded <em>below the line</em> so the values of x and y that are in the shaded area will add to <em>less than</em> 15 (or 14). Hence, the inequality will be ...
x + 4y ≤ something . . . . . part of the 3rd answer choice
The fact that the shading does not go below y=0 means the other limit is ...
y ≥ 0 . . . . . part of every answer choice.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The coordinates are (-6,0) and (-8,6)
<u><em>Finding slope of the line</em></u>
Slope =
Slope =
Slope =
Slope = -3
Parallel lines have equal slopes.
So, the line which is parallel to this line is y = negative 3 x + 3
