Answer: y = -2/5x -4

Step-by-step explanation:

First we can notice that the line is not going through the origin but is is going through the y-intercept which is -4.In this case the the equation of the line has be in slope intercept form as if  y=mx +b where only m and b is indicated and  m is the slope and b is the y intercept. So since we already know the y intercept is -4 we need to find the slope using  the points on the line.

The points (0,-4) and ( -5,-2)   lies on the line and we could use them to find the slope. To find the slope,we need to find the change in the y coordinates and divide it by the change in the x coordinates.

-4 -(-2) =  -2

0 - (-5) = 5      

slope:  -2/5

So since the slope is -2/5 and the y intercept is -4 then we will have the equation,

y= -2/5x - 4

Question 5(Multiple Choice Worth 4 points)
Trava [24]

Answer: it is -1

Step-by-step explanation: rate of change can be defined as Δy/Δx, or the change in y over the change in c (commonly referred to as rise over run). By looking at the numbers we can see that the relationship modeled is linear (has a constant rate of change), so we are able to use this formula to calculate its rate of change. Simply calculate the change between any two values of y and (the associated) values of x and divide them to obtain your solution. I’m not the best at explaining math in words so here is the solution represented symbolically:

Rate of change = Δy/Δx

Δy/Δx = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

(y2-y1)/(x2-x1) = (1 - (-2))/(2 - 5) //the selected values for y2,y1,x2, and x1 are the last and first values for each, respectively.

1)The price of a pair of boot was reduced from $80 to $60. By what percentage
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

1) 25%

2) $17.54

Step-by-step explanation:

1) The boots were reduced from $80 to $60, therefore the total amount they were reduced by in terms of money is $20. To find out what percentage $20 is of $80, you divide.

20/80 = 0.25

0.25 = 25 % (to change a decimal to a percentage, you multiply by 100)

2) 20% = 0.20 (to change a percentage to a decimal, you divide by 100)

To find 20% of $87.70, multiply 0.20 by 87.70.

87.70 x 0.20 = 17.54

Suppose you construct lines L, M, and N so that L is perpendicular to M and L is parallel to N. which of the following is true.
Blizzard [7]

In the question we are given three lines L,M and N such that:

Line L is perpendicular to M

and line L is parallel to line N

so the option is (C) M is perpendicular N

Step-by-step explanation

We are given three lines L,M and N such that:

  • Line L is perpendicular to M
  • Line L is parallel to line N

<u>We know that when one line parallel to the second line and is perpendicular to the third line then the second line is also perpendicular to the third line.</u>

<u></u>

So,the answer is  (C) M is perpendicular N
