To write this equation, you need use the formula y=mx+b.

m represents the slope and b represents the y intercept.

The y intercept is the point where the line touches the y axis. In this case, the y-intercept is 1.

The slope is just rise over run from one coordinate to another. The slope is 2/-1 which could be simplified as -2. The slope just means that we are going up 2 and left 1 to get to a new coordinate.

The equation is y=-2x+1

Have a good day! :)

Miguel wants to wallpaper the back wall of his bedroom. the wall is in the shape of a rectangle. its length is 13 feet and its w

Bingel [31]

First of all lets find the area of the rectangle.
13 ft × 12 ft = 156 square feet.
Now lets find the price which is $8 / square foot. Using proportions we get:
$8/sq ft × 156 sq ft. Simplifying we get
$8 × 156 = $1248.
The wallpaper will cost $1248

The first gardener can finish the job in 6 hours, and the second gardener can do the same job in 7 hours. How long it will take

marissa [1.9K]

If the first gardener can finish the job in 6 hours, it means that every hour he completes 1/6 of the job.

By the same logic, the second gardener completes 1/7 of the job per hour.

So, if they work together, they complete

$\dfrac{1}{6}+\dfrac{1}{7}=\dfrac{7+6}{42}=\dfrac{13}{42}$

of the job per hour.

So, after 42/13 of a hour, they'll complete the job. Since one hour is made of 60 minutes, 42/13 of a hour is

$\dfrac{42}{13}\cdot 60 \approx 194$

So, it will take them about 194 minutes to finish the job, i.e. about 3 hours and 14 minutes.

A $65 coat is now on sale for $52. What percent discount is given?

leonid [27]

20%, because if 65 is 100, then 52 is 80% out of 65; so 100 - 80 is 20

Find the y-intercept of the line who's equation is Y = 3.5 x- 0.4.

agasfer [191]

$\sf y=mx+b$

m is the slope
b is the y-intercept

so that means that the y-intercept of

$\sf y=3.5x + .4$

is $\sf .4$

$\bf{\huge{\boxed{y-intercept = .4}}}$
