Answer: y+3=-2(x-4)

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let’s find the slope. To do that just do (y2-y1)/(x2-x1). Substitute: (-3-2)/(3-2)= -5.

second, we want to put it in y=mx+b form so choose which coordinates you want to work with. Let’s say (2,1). So, 1=-5(2)+b

*(the one represents the y value, the -5 is slope and 2 is the x value)*

now just solve for b. b= 11

so the equation is: y=-5x+11

now, you can solve for the choices (I mean put them in y=Mx+b form) or just substitute in the coordinates to see which equation will work. In this case for choice w if we do 1+3=-2(2-4), that will be the answer.

Answer:

b

Step-by-step explanation:

1. find the slope

y2-y1/x2-x1

-3-1=-4

4-2=2

=-2-------this is our slope

point slope equation

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y+3=-2(x-4)

UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

7.75 x Y \geq 290

Step-by-step explanation:

we can do it backwards

290/7.75

about 37.42

so Y = 37.42 hours or higher

(thx for reminding me to round)

or Y can = 38
