Answer:

$y=-5/8x+6$

Step-by-step explanation:

$m=\frac{7/2 - 11}{4--8}$

$m=\frac{-15/2}{12}$

$m=-5/8$

$y=-5/8x+b$

$(-8,11)$

$11=-5/8 \times -8+b$

$b=11-(-5/8)(-8)$

$b=6$

Answer:

$y=\frac{2}{3}x-6$

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the slope-intercept form:

$y=mx+b$

m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. Looking at the graph, you can find the y-intercept. The y-intercept is the point where x equals 0:

$b=-6$

$y-intercept=(0,-6)$

To find the slope, take any two points from the line:

$(6,-2)(3,-4)$

Use the slope formula for when you have two points:

$\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}=\frac{rise}{run}$

The rise over run is the change in the y-axis over the change of the x-axis. Insert the appropriate values:

$(6(x_{1}),-2(y_{1})\\(3(x_{2}),-4(y_{2})$

$\frac{-4-(-2)}{3-6}$

Simplify parentheses (two negatives makes a positive):

$\frac{-4+2}{3-6}$

$\frac{-2}{-3}$

Simplify (two negatives make a positive):

$m=\frac{2}{3}$

The slope is $\frac{2}{3}$ and the y-intercept is $-6$ . Insert these into the equation:

$y=\frac{2}{3}x-6$

Finito.

Brandi jogged 2 1/2 miles in 30 minutes. Sharna jogged 3 1/2 miles in 3/4 hour. who jogged at a slower rate.

Klio2033 [76]

You need to use the equation Distance (miles)=Rate (miles/hour) x Time (hours)

Brandi: 2.5 miles=rate (1/2 hour) r=5 miles per hour

Sharna=3.5 miles= rate (3/4 hour) r = 7 miles per hour.

Therefore brandi jogged at a slower rate.

Is 50.1 repeating a rational or irrational number?

leonid [27]

Rational numbers can be written as a fraction
can be terminating or repeating decimal (terminating means a decimal that stops ex 5.873)
so 50.1 repeating is a rational number
