The equation of a line is y = mx + b. Calculate the slope (m) from the 2 points.

m = (-2-2)/(-4-4) = -4/-8 = 1/2

We could stop here as only one answer has a slope of 1/2, namely A). But if you wanted to show that the y-intercept (b) was 0, you could use either of the points and substitute it into the equation of the line and solve for b.

(-4,-2):
-2 = 1/2(-4) + b
-2 = -2 + b
0 = b

(4,2):
2 = 1/2(4) + b
2 = 2 + b
0 = b

Another way to name an angle is by the point where the angle is, so in your question, it is <F
Whenever they say <ABC (any random letters), the middle letter is another way to name it

4/25 of the purchases were stuffed animals. 10/21 of them were bears. What fraction of the purchases were stuffed bears?

Bess [88]

Let's name all the purchases "x"

so $\frac{4}{25}$ of them were stuffed animals, and out of that $\frac{10}{21}$ were bears.

to get the results we have to multiply the fraction of bears by the fraction of the stuff animals:

$\frac{4}{25}*\frac{10}{21}$ .

and now we simplify:
$\frac{4*2}{5*21}$ = $\frac{8}{105}$

and this is the answer!

Enter an equation in standard form.<br> Slope is 5, and (1,8) is on the line.

Georgia [21]

Answer:

5x -y = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the line in the slope-intercept form is y=5x+3

In the point-slope form is y−8=5(x−1)

If you don't want to do the work or don't know how: use a slope calcultor there are tons on google and they are rlly helpful
