Answer:
y = -4x +2
Step-by-step explanation:
As x-values increase by 1, y-values decrease by 4. The slope of the line is ...
... m = (change in y)/(change in x) = -4/1 = -4
We can use the first (x, y) pair as a point to use in the point-slope form of the equation of a line. That form can be written, for slope m and point (h, k) ...
... y = m(x -h) +k
using m = -4 and (h, k) = (1, -2), we can fill in the numbers to get ...
... y = -4(x -1) -2
... y = -4x +4 -2 . . . . eliminate parentheses
... y = -4x +2 . . . . . . slope-intercept form

<em>Alternate approach</em>
After you recognize that a change in x of 1 gives a change in y of -4, you can work backward one step to find the table value for y corresponding to x=0. That will be -2+4 = +2. Now, you know both the slope (-4) and the y-intercept (+2), so you can write the equation directly from this knowledge:
... y = -4x +2
Y/x=k 48/8=6=k k is the constant y/4=6 y=24
There are 4 people in total
(including herself)
so 36 smarties should be evenly distributed among 4 people
so answer = 36/4 = 9
Answer:
<em>Tick:</em>
<em>- the coefficient of the second term is -5</em>
<em>- the coefficient of the fourth term is -10</em>
Explanation:
The coefficient of an expression is simply the number placed before and multiplying the variable (e.g. 10x ; the coefficient is 10, the variable is x)
Hope this makes sense. Feel free to inquire further if need be!
