y= -947/8
Just isolate the variables, even though this is a long, painstaking, agonizing process
:)
For this problem plug in the given x and y values:
For the first one: No
second one: No
third one: Yes
fourth one: No
Answer: 24
Step-by-step explanation: Since the ratio is 3:3, there must be the same amount of girls as there are boys.
Answer:
the mistake they made was the wrong offset from point (0,0) into the y direction. the incline of the line was correct.
the correct equation is y = 1/2×x - 2, because this line contains both points (4,0) and (0,-2)
Step-by-step explanation:
we are looking for a line equation
y = a×x + b
the 2 points give us 2 equations to solve for the 2 variables a and b :
0 = a×4 + b
-2 = a×0 + b
=> b = -2
=> -b = a×4, => a = -b/4 = 2/4 = 1/2
so, the right equation for the line going through both points is
y = 1/2×x - 2
the difference to the original equation is simply the offset from the x- axis in the y direction.
the original equation would be parallel to the correct equation but hit the y-axis at (0,4) instead of (0,-2), and it would hit the x-axis at (-8,0) instead of (4,0)
