You want this in slope-intercept form, which is : y=mx+b

Where m = slope, and b = y-intercept

To find the slope, pick two points on the line given to us :)

I have decided to pick the points : (0, -4) and (4, -3)

To solve for the slope, we use the slope equation, which is : m = y₂-y₁ / x₂-x₁

** In this case, y₂ = -3 ; y₁ = -4 ; x₂ = 4 ; x₁ = 0 **

Simply plug everything in :)

m = -3 - (-4) / 4 - 0

Simplify.

m = -3 + 4 / 4

Simplify.

m = 1/4

So, our slope is 1/4.

Now we need to find the y-intercept.

** Remember : The y-intercept is the point in which our given line passes (goes) through the y-axis **

So, please go look at our line. As you can see, our y-intercept is -4, as that is the point in which our line passes through the y-axis.

So, the slope is 1/4 & the y-intercept is -4.

Slope-intercept form : y = mx + b

Plug everything in.

y = 1/4x - 4 is your final answer.

~Hope I helped!~

The area of a quarter’s face is 4.64 cm2. The amount of space that it occupies is 0.60 cm3. Approximately how thick is a quarter

Greeley [361]

A quarter resembles a 3D figure of a cylinder. The face is the area of the base of the cylinder and the space it occupies is the volume of the cylinder. We need to find out the height of the cylinder.

Volume = Area of base•height
Volume/Area of base=height
0.60/4.64=0.12931
Round to the nearest hundred
height=0.13 cm

Can you give me a example on how to do this that would be really helpfull

Rom4ik [11]

We'll do the first one. I can't read the variable, but it looks like a $\theta$ so that's what I'll use, but it doesn't matter.

First, get the variable by itself:

$\theta$

You get that before you multiply each side by two.

Now, you color the line so that all values that are less than 6 are shaded, so you put an open circle at 6 since it's not included and then you shade everything to the left.

Which expression is equal to<br> -18b^-4

victus00 [196]

Answer:

$- \frac{18}{ {b}^{4} }$

Step-by-step explanation:

$- 18b {}^{ - 4}$

express b^-4 with a positive exponent using:

$a {}^{ - n} = \frac{1}{ {a}^{n} }$

$- 18 \frac{1}{ {b}^{4} }$

$- \frac{18}{ {b}^{4} }$
