Answer:

k = -1/2

y= -1/2x

Step-by-step explanation:

y = kx

We know y = -4 and x=8

-4 = k*8

Divide each side by 9

-4/8 = 8k/8

-1/2 =k

y= -1/2x

a bastetball is passed through the air. The height h of the ball in feet after the distance d in feet the ball travels horizonta
Ksenya-84 [330]
You want the (positive) distance when the height is 0, 0= -d^2 + 10d +5. You would factor that out(You'd get radicals), and the final answer would be <span>5±<span>30<span>−−</span>√</span></span><span> You'd take the only positive one of the two, 5 + srt(30) I hope I did that right :/</span>

ABCD is a square of side 3, and E and F are the mid points of sides AB and BC respectively. What is the area of the quadrilatera
Dima020 [189]
Given : - Square ABCD with side 3.  E and F as midpoints.
To find : - area of EBFD

Solution : - We have, area of square ABCD = 3 x 3 = 9 units.

Thus, (ar)EBFD = ar ABCD - ar DAE - arDCF

arDAE = 1/2 x base x height

=1/2 x 1.5 x 3 ( AE is 1/2 of AB = 1.5, DA is altitude)
= 2.25

arDFC = 1/2 x base x height 
= 1/2 x 1.5 x 3 (FC is 1/2 of BC, DC is altitude)
= 2.25

Thus, (ar) EBFD = arABCD - arDAE - arDCF

= 9 - 2.25 - 2.25

= 4.5 units.

Thus, area of quad EBFD is 4.5 units.
