Assuming that the 1/2 is to be distributed; slope would be x or 1 and the y intercept would be -4
        
                    
             
        
        
        
Hi! Sorry if this is wrong, but I believe it would be f(x)= |x+5|-4. This is because it shifts to the left, so it is adding 5 to the x in the absolute value bars. And it shifting 4 units down would be negative. Hope this helps!
        
                    
             
        
        
        
Answer:
the total weights in tons is 18
Step-by-step explanation:
The computation of the total weights in tons is shown below:
The weight of 8 cars would be
= 4,500 pounds × 8 cars
= 36,000 pounds
Now as we know that 1 ton = 2,000 pounds
So for 8 trucks it would be 
= 36,000 pounds ÷ 2,000 pounds
= 18 tons 
Hence, the total weights in tons is 18
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
Percentage of cherries    = 60 %
Percentage of berries  = 40 %
Step-by-step explanation:
He orders  15 1/2 pounds every year. 
He wants more=  1 1/4 pounds 
So the total pounds = 15 1/2 + 1 1/4
                                  = 15 + 1 + 1/2 + 1/4
                                  = 16 + (2+1)/4
                                   =   16 + 3/4
                                   = 16 3/4 pounds
Out of 16  3/4 pounds they want 2/5 part to be of blue berries.
So blue berries = 16 3/4 * ( 2/5) 
                           = 67/4 * ( 2/5)
                             = 67/10 = 6 7/10 pounds
Amount of cherries= 16  3/4- 6 7/10
                                  = 10 3/4- 7/10
                                   = 10 (15- 14)/20
                                    = 10 1/20 pounds
Percentage of cherries = Amount of cherries/ Total amount * 100
                                       = 201/20 / 67/4 *100
                                          = 201/20 * 4/67 *100
                                          = 201/335 *100 
                                           = 60 %
Percentage of berries = 100- 60 = 40 %
