Answer:

One equation would be y= -1.5x +11

Step-by-step explanation:

Here's a table to show the coordinates

x:             y:

8              -1

-------------------

-4             17

the x coor. 8  goes down by 12 to get to the next x coor. -4.

8-12= -4

the y coor. -1 goes up by 18 to get to the next y coor. 17.

-1+18= 17

therefore 18/-12 is -1.5 which can be your k in y=kx+b.

Check your answer.

-1.5*8= -12 but when you add 11, you get the y coor. -1

Do the same with the other x coor.

-4*-1.5= 6 + 11 =17

11 can be your b in the slope-intercept form equation.

One equation may be y = -1.5x +11

An athletic director pays $90 for 12 sun visors for the softball team. The rate per sun visor is equal to $90 / 12 sun visor = $ 7.5 per sun visor. So the athletic director should pay ($ 7.5 per sun visor)*(15 sun visor) = $ 112.5

Using an ordered alphabet of 26 letters, how many ways are there to choose a set of six letters such that no two letters in the
mestny [16]
To find our solution, we can start off by creating a string of 27 boxes, all followed by the letters of the alphabet. Underneath the boxes, we can place 6 pairs of boxes and 15 empty boxes.The stars represent the six letters we pick. The empty boxes to the left of the stars provide the "padding" needed to ensure that no two adjacent letters are chosen. We can create this - 
\binom {21} {6}= \frac{21*20*19*18*17*16}{6*5*4*3*2*1} =21*19*17*8=54264
Thus, the answer is that there are \boxed{54264} ways to choose a set of six letters such that no two letters in the set are adjacent in the alphabet. Hope this helped and have a phenomenal New Year! <em>2018</em>
