Answer:
All that's necessary is to add 4 to both sides of the equation. This gives
... y = 1/2(x -8) +4
If you like, you can simplify this by eliminating the parentheses and collecting terms.
... y = 1/2·x -4 +4
... y = (1/2)x
Step-by-step explanation:
I don’t see a picture but to length x width x height :)
X=4. 4/2=2 and 8/4=2 making the equations equal
ASSUMING This is a straight line so we gotta the formula for a straight line which is y=mx+b, where m represents the slope and b represents the y intercept.
First, we know this line passes through (5,8) and (9,2) we can use these for finding the equations. When we know two points, we use this formula:
y-y=m(x-x)
The first y is 8 and the second one is 2
The first x is 5 and the second one is 9
Plug it in:
8-2=m(5-9)
6=m(-4)
6/-4=m <— simplify this
m= -3/2
*NOTE: another way to find m is by calculating it (y-y)/(x-x)
Now we know m, we have to find b.
All you gotta do is plug everything you know back into the equation y=mx+b
y=mx+b
y=-3/2x+b <— now plug in a point we know(x,y)
8=-3/2(5)+b
8=-15/2+b
8-(-15/2)=b
b=8+15/2
b=16/2+15/2
b=31/2 (now you can write be as a fraction or a decimal in your equation, depending on what your teacher told you to use)
*NOTE: it is best to use fractions instead of decimals as it is more accurate sometimes.
Now we know all the variables that need to be known, we just need to rewrite the formula of the equation so the teacher can see.
m=-3/2
b=31/2
We don’t need to plug in x or y since it could have different values (since a straight line has MANY co-ordinates)
SO OUR EQUATION IS=
y=(-3/2)x+31/2

Answer:
1.2 pounds of chicken per serving.
Step-by-step explanation:
4 and 4/5 of pounds of chicken for serving of 4.
We can also write this as 4.8 pounds of chicken.
To find how much pound of chicken will be needed for a single serving we have to divide 4.8 by 4.
If this answer helped you, give this answer a heart and rate it.
