Answer:

y=-4x+3

Step-by-step explanation:

If we wanted to write an equation for the line in slope intercept form, than first we would need to find the slope. We can do this by using the equation y2-y1/x2-x1=m or slope. Slope intercept form can be written as y=mx+b.

-9-7=-16

3--1 or 3+1=4

Now we can divide.

-16/4=-4

The slope is -4

Now we have to find the y intercept, or b.

To do so, insert all of the place values we know into the equation and solve for b.

7=4+b

3=b

So the y-intercept is 3.

Finally, we can write the complete equation as y=-4x+3

Hope this helps! :D

Rent a truck charges a daily rental of 39$ plus 0.16$ per mile. a competing agency, ace truck rentals, charges 25$ a day plus 0.

charle [14.2K]

39 + 0.16m = 25 + 0.24m
39 - 25 = 0.24m - 0.16m
14 = 0.08m
14 / 0.08 = m
175 = m <=== they will cost the same at 175 miles

39 + 0.16(175) = 39 + 28 = $ 67
25 + 0.24(175) = 25 + 42 = $ 67
they will both cost $ 67 <=====

Which integer is closest to 0 on the number line?

IrinaVladis [17]

An integer is close to zero if it is "small".

By small, we mean that it is small in absolute value. In fact, for any given distance $d$ , there are two integers that are $d$ units away from zero: $d$ and $-d$ .
