Hi there! The formula for finding the slope is y2 - y1/ x2 - x1, where the first x and y-coordinates are subtracted from the second x and y-coordinates. We have the two points on the graph marked. We will use (0, 5) and (4, -5) in this case. Here are the numbers that represent each:

y2 = -5
y1 = 5
x2 = 4
x1 = 0

Let's subtract. -5 - 5 is -10. 4 - 0 is 4. -10/4 is -2 1/2 in simplest form or -5/2 as a mixed number. We found the slope. The y-intercept is where the line crosses, where the x-axis is 0. In this case, we can see by the point given out that the slope intercept is 5. There. The slope is -5/2 and the slope-intercept is 5. The answer is B.

Hello!

Let's start by finding the slope of the line. You can calculate the slope by dividing the change in y-values by the change in x-values using the following formula:

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

The plotted coordinates are (0, 5) and (4, -5); let's plug those into the formula:

\frac{5(-5)}{0-4}

Simplify:

\frac{5+5}{-4}

\frac{10}{-4}

\frac{-5}{2}

The slope is \frac{-5}{2}.

Now, the y-intercept is where the line intersects the y-axis, or when x equals 0. x equals 0 when y equals 5, so the y-intercept is 5.

I hope this helps!

Which graph represents a linear function?
pshichka [43]

Answer:

y + 2x = 10 (third option)

Step-by-step explanation:

We can see that every time x increases by one, y increases by -2, meaning that the slope is -2.

We also know that the y-intercept is 10 because that is the value of y when x is equal to 0.

Now, we can create the equation using the slope-intercept form (y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept).

y = -2x + 10

If you look at the third option, that equation is just a rearranged form of our equation (y + 2x = 10).

This means that the third option is correct.

Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

3): 14

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem states that ABC and DEF are similar. Therefore, dsue to similar triangles, we have 7x/7=4/x, so x^2=4. Therefore, x=2 (because x cannot be negative). Therefore, AB = 7x = 7*2=14
