To write the equation of a line, we use the equation: y = mx +b.
m is the slope of the line, which can be calculated using the equation:
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
We can choose any two points on the line to put into this equation. The red dots are at (0,0) and (-6,-2), so we will use those, but you would get the same answer by using any other pair of coordinates on the blue line.
m = (-2 - 0)/(-6 - 0) = 2/6 = 1/3
b is the y-intercept of the line. The y-intercept is the y-coordinate when the line crosses the y-axis. It crosses the y-axis at (0,0), so the y-intercept is 0.
Now, we plug our values back into the full equation to get the equation of the line.
y = mx + b
y = (1/3)x + 0
So the final answer is y = (1/3)x or y = x/3, depending on how you want to write it.
Answer: 54
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
replace "a" with "-2" in the g-equation
g(a) = a² - 4a + 42
g(-2) = (-2)² - 4(-2) + 42
= 4 + 8 + 42
= 54
10 kids total
picking Truman would be 1 out of 10 or 1/10
then there would be 9 kids left so picking Ryan would be 1 out of 9 or 1/9
the probability of picking both would be 1/10 * 1/9 = 1/90
You do 3/15 which is 0.2
then 0.2*20 which is 4
you can expect 4 to win a prize
hope this helps and you rate me good;)
If Zack walks a 7-mile route every day, and he goes on for 22 days, the answer is 154, because you are multiplying 7 by 22 (7 x 22 = 154).
