Answer:

\huge\boxed{y = \frac{3}{4}x+1}

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Finding the slope (m) first:</u>

Given the coordinates (-8 , -5) and ( 4 , 4 )

Slope = \sf \frac{Rise}{Run}

Slope = \sf \frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}

Slope = \frac{4 + 8}{4+5}

Slope = \frac{12}{9}

Slope = m = \frac{3}{4}

<u>Finding y - intercept (b) :</u>

Taking a coordinate say (4,4)

And putting it in slope intercept form along with b

y = mx+b

Where y = 4 , m = 3/4 and x = 4

4 = (3/4)(4) + b

4 = 3+b

4-3 = b

1 = b

So,

b = 1

<u>Putting m and b now in slope-intercept equation:</u>

y = mx+b

y = \frac{3}{4}x+1

Answer:

\Huge \boxed{y=\frac{3}{4} x+1}

\rule[225]{225}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the slope through two points.

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = (4 - -5)/(4 - -8)

m = 9/12 = 3/4

The slope of the line is 3/4.

Slope-intercept form of a line is y=mx+b. Where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

y = 3/4x + b

A point on the line is (4, 4). x = 4 and y =4.

4 = 3/4(4) + b

4 = 3 + b

b = 1

The y-intercept is 1.

Answer:

Sale tax rate = 7.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

The book cost $12.95

If you take 12.95 x 0.075 = 0.97125

Round the answerto the hundredth (0.97)

Add the tax, 12.95 + 0.97 = 13.92

Below is the graph of y = |x| . .Translate it to make it the graph of of y=|x-2|+4
sineoko [7]
Explanation

Given a function f(x) we translate the function:

• a units horizontally (a > 0 to the right, a < 0 to the left),

,

• b units vertically (b > 0 up, b < 0 down),

by the transformation:

f(x)\rightarrow g(x)=f(x-a)+b.

In this case, we have:

\begin{gathered} f(x)=|x|, \\ g(x)=|x-2|+4=f(x-2)+4. \end{gathered}

Comparing f(x) and g(x) with the general transformation above, we see that the graph of g(x) is the graph of f(x) translated:

• a = 2 units to the right,

,

• b = 4 units up.

Translating the graph of f(x), we get:

Answer

The translated graph is the graph in red:

Find the area. Please help
Nutka1998 [239]

The answer to your question is 77 because the formula for area for a triangle is A=1/2BH and the base is 11 feet and the height is 14 feet. So, (14•11)/2 is 77. Therefore, 77 squared feet is the answer.
