Answer:

y = (3/8)x - 1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the slope-intercept form y = mx + b.  Substitute -1.5 for b, 4 for x and 0 for y.  Then:  0 = m(4) - 1.5, or

4m = 1.5, or

The slope is m = 1.5/4, or m = 0.375, or m = 3/8.

Note that the x-intercept can be treated just like any other point:  (4, 0)

Then the desired equation is     y = (3/8)x - 1.5

Answer:

\boxed{y=\frac{3}{8} x-1.5}

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1: Determining slope from two given points

We are given the points x=4 and y=-1.5. We can go ahead and make the first part of the equation because we are given one of the unknowns (the y-intercept, or b). The equation becomes y=mx-1.5.

Part 2: Determine the coordinate points

x=4 is a x-intercept, meaning it crosses the x-axis at this point. The y-value is 0 ⇒ (4, 0) is the first point.

y=-1.5 is a y-intercept, meaning it crosses the y-axis at this point. The x-value is 0 ⇒ (0, -1.5) is the second point.

<em>Now, plug these values into the point-slope formula:</em> m=\frac{y_{2} -y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1}}

<h2 /><h2>m=\frac{-1.5 - 0}{0 - 4}</h2><h2>m = \frac{-1.5}{-4}</h2><h2>m = \frac{3}{8}</h2><h2 />

Plug this information into the equation to get your final answer of \boxed{y=\frac{3}{8} x-1.5}.

Given lines p and q are parallel, find the value of x that makes each diagram true.
Klio2033 [76]

Answer: for a the answer is 140° and for b x=25°

Step-by-step explanation:

for a, when you have 2 parallel lines cut by a transversal,the corresponding angles are congruent. and the angle140 is congruent to the corresponding angle as they are vertical angles are congruent.

for b, angle x is congruent to the angle that is supplementary to 155 therefore 180-155=25°
