Hello there,

Well we are going to start off with the equation to find the slope based on the given points:

                                                    \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}  }{x_{2} -x_{1} }

Now using the two given points we are going to plug in and solve:

                                         \frac{(-12)-(-14)}{(-18)-(-22)} = \frac{2}{4} = \frac{1}{2}

From this you know that \frac{1}{2} is the slope of the equation. However, to find the y-intercept we are going to use y = mx+ b and plug in one of the points to solve:

                                        (-14) = \frac{1}{2} (-22) + b

                                        (-14) = (-11) + b

                                         -3 = b

That means that the y-intercept is at (0, -3). Lastly, we are just going to plug all this into the slope-intercept form:

                                       y = \frac{1}{2} - 3

Hope I helped,

Amna

julsineya [31]

Answer:

x=7

Step-by-step explanation:

Information provided

Weight of ant=2*10^{-3} grams

Weight of lion=1*10^{5} but units are not provided, assuming this unit is also grams

How many times lion's weight exceed an ant

\frac {1*10^{5}}{2*10^{-3}}=50000000

=5*10^{7}

Therefore, the value of x=7 if the unit for weight of lion is assumed to be same as unit for weight of an ant
