(-4,-3)(12,1)
slope(m) = (1 - (-3) / (12 - (-4)
slope(m) = (1 + 3) / (12 + 4)
slope(m) = 4/16 = 1/4

y - y1 = m(x - x1)...using (12,1)
y - 1 = 1/4(x - 12)
y - 1 = 1/4x - 3
y = 1/4x - 3 + 1
y = 1/4x - 2
-1/4x + y = -2...multiply by -4
x - 4y = 8 <=== here it is

Answer:

Option  A is correct.

x – 4y = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Using point slope form:

The equation of line is given by:

y-y_1 = m(x-x_1)                  ....[1]

where, m is the slope.

As per the statement:

The point passes through the line are:

(-4, -3) and (12, 1)

Using Slope(m) formula:

m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Substitute the given values we have;

m = \frac{1+3}{12+4}=\frac{4}{16}=\frac{1}{4}

Substitute the value of m and (12, 1) in [1] we have;

y-1 = \frac{1}{4}(x-12)

Multiply both sides by 4 we have;

4y-4 = x-12

Add 4 to both sides we have;

4y= x-8

⇒-x+4y = -8

Multiply both sides by -1 we have;

⇒x-4y =8

Therefore, the standard form of the equation for this line is, x – 4y = 8

The table represents the change in the boiling point of water at different altitudes. Altitude (in thousands of feet) Boiling Po
Anton [14]
Answers:

1) The dependent variable is the boiling point of water and the independent variable is the altitude.

2) The slope would represent the average decrease of the boiling point of water per every one thousand feet that the altitude increase.

Explanation:

1) given

Table:

<span>Altitude (in thousands of feet)    Boiling Point of Water (Fahrenheit)

(sea level) 0                                212
0.5                                               211.1
1.0                                               210
2.0                                               208.4
2.5                                               207.5
3.0                                               206.6
4.0                                               204.8
4.5                                               203.9

2) The independent variable is the input of the function, and the dependent variable is the output of the function.

The input determines the output once the rule is established.

Therefore:

a) the independent variable is the altitude, and
b) the dependent variable is the boiling point of water in Farenheit.

3) The slope of the graph would be:

                 change in the dependent variable          change in boiling point
slope = --------------------------------------------------- =  ---------------------------------
</span>                 change in the independent variable          change in altitude

Therefore, the slope represents the average change in the boiling boilin point of water every one thousand feet on change of altitude.

If the relationship is not linear, then the slope is not constant, and you will have different slopes for different parts.

If the slope is negative, means that as the altitude increase the boiling point of water decrease.

You can calculate the slope using any two pair of points (data)

              212 - 210           2
slope =---------------- =   ------- = - 2
                0 - 1            - 1

or, using other pair of points:

                204.8 - 210           -5.2             
slope = --------------------- =   --------- = -2.6
                  4.0 - 2.0               2.0

As you see, the slope is not constant. So, the function is not linear.

The student body of 135 students wants to elect two representatives combination or permutation
fgiga [73]

The method to use is Combination

<h3>What is combination?</h3>

Combination is a way or method of selecting items from a collection without a defined order or manner.

The formula for finding Combination is given as;

Combination = n!/ r!(n -r)!

n = 135

r = 2

Combination = 135!/ 2!(135 - 2)!

Thus, the method to use is Combination
