Answer:

4x +y = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The intercept form of the equation for a line is ...

x/x-intercept +y/y-intercept = 1

For the given intercepts, this is ...

x/1 +y/4 = 1

Multiplying by 4 gives the standard-form equation:

4x +y = 4

Move the decimal to the left 2 spaces. 90% would .90. 74% would be .74. 134% would be 1.34 Got it? It' always the same no matter the percent. 2 spaces to the left.

Through: (-3,0), perp. to y = 3x - 1

Marrrta [24]

Answer:

$y=-\dfrac{1}{3}x-1$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

line y=3x-1

point (-3,0)

Write: equation of the line that is perpendicular to the given and passes through the point (-3,0)

Solution:

The slope of the given line is $m=3$

If $m_1$ is the slope of perpendicular line, then

$m\cdot m_1=-1\\ \\3m_1=-1\\ \\m_1=-\dfrac{1}{3}$

So, the equation of the needed line is $y=-\dfrac{1}{3}x+b.$

Find b. This line passes through the point (-3,0), so its coordinates satisfy the equation:

$0=-\dfrac{1}{3}\cdot (-3)+b\\ \\0=1+b\\ \\b=-1\\ \\y=-\dfrac{1}{3}x-1$

You are out bottle caps, and decide to use Popsicle sticks instead. You measure them, and they are 15.2 cm tall. How many Popsic

satela [25.4K]

It depends on how many Popsicle sticks you are going to use.So, for example, say that you are using 5 Popsicle sticks for the model. What you do is 15.2 x 5, 15.2 being the height of the sticks and 5 for the number of sticks you are using. The answer will be 76 cm tall. 21 15.2 x 5 --------- 76.0
