What is the equation of the line?
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

y=1/2x+2

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to find the equation for a line that passes through the two points:

(0,2) and (-4,0).

First of all, remember what the equation of a line is:

y = mx+b

Where:

m is the slope, and

b is the y-intercept

First, let's find what m is, the slope of the line...

The slope of a line is a measure of how fast the line "goes up" or "goes down". A large slope means the line goes up or down really fast (a very steep line). Small slopes means the line isn't very steep. A slope of zero means the line has no steepness at all; it is perfectly horizontal.

For lines like these, the slope is always defined as "the change in y over the change in x" or, in equation form:

So what we need now are the two points you gave that the line passes through. Let's call the first point you gave, (0,2), point #1, so the x and y numbers given will be called x1 and y1. Or, x1=0 and y1=2.

Also, let's call the second point you gave, (-4,0), point #2, so the x and y numbers here will be called x2 and y2. Or, x2=-4 and y2=0.

Now, just plug the numbers into the formula for m above, like this:

m= 0 - 2-4 - 0 or... m= -2-4 or... m=1/2

So, we have the first piece to finding the equation of this line, and we can fill it into y=mx+b like this:

y=1/2x+b

Now, what about b, the y-intercept?

To find b, think about what your (x,y) points mean:

(0,2). When x of the line is 0, y of the line must be 2.

(-4,0). When x of the line is -4, y of the line must be 0.

Because you said the line passes through each one of these two points, right?

Now, look at our line's equation so far: y=1/2x+b. b is what we want, the 1/2 is already set and x and y are just two "free variables" sitting there. We can plug anything we want in for x and y here, but we want the equation for the line that specfically passes through the two points (0,2) and (-4,0).

So, why not plug in for x and y from one of our (x,y) points that we know the line passes through? This will allow us to solve for b for the particular line that passes through the two points you gave!.

You can use either (x,y) point you want..the answer will be the same:

(0,2). y=mx+b or 2=1/2 × 0+b, or solving for b: b=2-(1/2)(0). b=2.

(-4,0). y=mx+b or 0=1/2 × -4+b, or solving for b: b=0-(1/2)(-4). b=2.

See! In both cases we got the same value for b. And this completes our problem.

The equation of the line that passes through the points

(0,2) and (-4,0)

is

y=1/2x+2

What is the value of numbers
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In math, every digit in a number has a place value. Place value can be defined as the value represented by a digit in a number on the basis of its position in the number. ... 8 is in ones place and its place value is 8. Understanding the place value of digits in numbers helps in writing numbers in their expanded form.

crystal is picking blueberries.so far,she has filled 2/3 of her basket,and the blueberries weigh 3/4pound .the equation 2/3w=3/4
vesna_86 [32]
In order to do this, we multiply both sides be the amount that would make the left side equal to 1.  This number is the reciprocal of the fraction, so we multiply both sides by 3/2.  This is equal to:

w = 9/8

So, the blueberries in crystal's basket will weigh 9/8 pounds when it is full.

xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

Explained below.

Step-by-step explanation:

A standard abacus is a traditional method used to perform basic mathematical calculations, such as addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

There are 5 rods on a standard abacus.

The shape of the abacus has a series of vertical rods on which a number of beads are placed.

Each bead on a particular rod is considered as 1 unit, i.e. if there are three beads on a rod, the value of that rod is 3.

The last rod on an abacus is for the unit's place, the second last rod is for the ten's place, the third last rod is for the hundredth's place, the fourth last rod is for the thousandth's place and the fifth rod is for the ten thousandth's place.
