First find the slope of the line connecting these two points:

6-5

m = ------------ = -1/2

-4+2

Substitute this slope into y = mx + b: y = (-1/2)x + b.

Next, subst. 5 for y and -2 for x, and find b:

5 = (-1/2)(-2) + b, or 5-1=b. Then b = 4, and

the equation of the line is y = (-1/2)x + 4.

First you find the slope of the equation using the formula
M= y2-y1/x2-x1
M= 5-6/-2-(-4)
M= -1/2
Using slope intercept form which is y=mx+b, you write y=-1/2x+b
Now in order to find b you simple substitute one of the given points
I choose (-4,6)
6=-1/2(-4)+b
6=2+b
b=4
So final answer would be y=-1/2x+4

Which of the binomials below is a factor of this
Illusion [34]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x² - 13x + 30

Consider the factors of the constant term (+ 30) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (- 13)

The factors are - 3 and - 10, since

- 3 × - 10 = + 30 and - 3 - 10 = - 13 , thus

x² - 13x + 30 = (x - 3)(x - 10) ← in factored form

Thus (x - 3) is a factor of the polynomial → A

A conical container can hold 120π cubic centimeters of water. The diameter of the base of the container is 12 centimeters.
nignag [31]

Answer:

A. 10cm

B. 8 times

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is on volume of a conical container

Volume of a cone= \pi r^{2} h/3

where r is the radius of base and h is the height of the cone

Given diameter= 12 cm, thus radius r=12/2 =6 cm

v=\pi r^2h/3 \\120\pi =\pi *6*6*h/3\\120\pi =12\pi h\\10=h

h=10 cm

B.

If height and diameter were doubled

New height = 2×10 =20 cm

New diameter = 2×12 = 24, r=12 cm

volume = v=\pi r^2h/3\\v=\pi *12*12*20/3\\v=960\pi

To find the number of times we divide new volume with the old volume

N= 960\pi /120\pi \\\\N= 8

Matthew deposits $400 into an account that earns 7% interest compounded quarterly. What is the balance in his account after 10 y
user100 [1]

Answer:

$787

Step-by-step explanation:

In terms of interest

To find the multiplier using '7% more' continues as follows

100% + 7% = 107%

107/100 = 1.07 (multiplier)

Add the ten years as a power to the multiplier

1.07^10

And multiply this by $400

400 x 1.07^10 = 786.860542916

To the nearest dollar = $787

Write an inequality for people younger than 8 get in for $45
Tema [17]

Answer:

8 ≤ $45

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

People younger than 8 get in for $45.

Now we can assume that the cost given might be to enter in the garden or might be in fair or might be at museum or might be at a zoo which is $45 for people which are younger than 8.

Now we can say for people younger than 8 means people or children who are of 8 years or who are below 8 years or say less than 8 years.

Hence we can say people who are less than or equal to 8 get in for $45

So the inequality equation becomes.

8 ≤ $45
