Find the slope, m = (change in y) / (change in x)

                     0-(-2)
Here, m = ------------- = 1/4
                     8 - 0
y-k = m(x-h) becomes         y+2 = (1/4)(x), or y = (1/4)x - 2

Then the desired equation is   y = (1/4)x - 2 (slope-intercept form)

Answer:

The equation of the line is y = 1/4x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find this, we must first find the slope. We can do that by using the slope formula. For this, we will use the points given of (8, 0) and (0, -2)

m(slope) = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = (0 - -2)/(8 - 0)

m = 2/8

m = 1/4

Now that we have the slope, we can use that and either point in point-slope form to find the equation.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - -2 = 1/4(x - 0)

y + 2 = 1/4x

y = 1/4x - 2

George plays basketball in a week long camp On day 2 he scored 8 points On day 4 he scored 12 points Explain how to measure his
Kay [80]
To measure George's rate of change, we first set out two pairs of independent and dependent data which in this case is the day number and the point

Independent Data: Day 2                          Independent Data: Day 4
Dependent Data: 8 points                         Dependant Data: 12 points

Then we find the difference between the two independent values and the two dependent values

4 - 2 = 2
12 - 8 =4

To find the rate we use the following formula 
the difference of dependent value ÷ the difference of independent value =
4 ÷ 2 = 2

Hence the average rate of change is an increase of 2 points a day

-4x - 6y = 6<br> 4x + 6y = -4
Sloan [31]

Step-by-step explanation:

-4x - 6y = 6

4x + 6y = -4

To solve a system of equations, we can add the two equations and solve for one of the remaining variables -- let's try to eliminate the x variable when we add the two equations together.

Right now, there's a -4x term in the first equation, and a 4x term in the second equation, so if we add those together, we'll be able to eliminate the x variable altogether and solve for y.

However, when we also have a -6y term in the first equation and 6y term in the second equation, so adding these together will also eliminate the y term, leaving a 0 on the left-hand side of the equation.

If we add the two numbers on the right side of the equation, we get -2, which does not equal 0, meaning there are no solutions to this system of equations.
