Answer:

y = -1/2x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

A line in slope-intercept form in y = mx + b

"m" is the slope

"b" is the y-intercept

x and y represent points on the graph

To write an equation, you need "m" and "b".

We already know m = -1/2

The point (0, 2) is the y-intercept. The y-intercept occurs when x = 0.

Points are in the form (x , y), so x = 0 and y = 2.

Therefore b = 2.

Substitute m = -1/2 and b = 2 into the equation:

y = mx + b

y = -1/2x + 2

Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

A.) 7:3

B.) Approximately 96,772 people

Step-by-step explanation:

The newspaper company sampled 80 of their subscribers.

56 of the 80 would be interested in the new services.

So, 80 - 56 = 24 people would not be interested in the new service.

The ratio of those interested in the new service to those who are not interested is:

56 : 24 simplified becomes 7 : 3 (We divide 56 and 24 by a common divisor = 8)

If the total number of subscribers for the newspaper is 138,346

The number of subscribers who would be interested in the new service would be:

\frac{7}{10} × 138,246 = 96,772.2 people

Because there are no 0.2 people, we remove the decimal point of the answer and hence;

Approximately 96,772 people would be interested in the new service.
