Answer: The correct option is (D) y = 2x - 8.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that the temperature was -8°F on a very cold morning. And, it goes on increasing by 2° each hour.

We are to select the correct equation that shows the temperature over time.

Let, 'x' represents the number of hours increasing one by one and 'y' be the temperature in degree fahrenheit in the x-th hour.

So, at x  = 0, y = -8,

and at x = 1, y = -8 + 2 = -6.

Therefore, (x, y) = (0, -8) and (1, -6).

So, slope of the line representing the relation between 'x' and 'y' is

m=\dfrac{-6+8}{1-0}=2.

Hence, the equation of the line will be

y-(-8)=m(x-0)\\\\\Rightarrow y+8=2(x)\\\\\Rightarrow y=2x-8.

Thus, (D) y = 2x - 8 is the correct equation.

Find the slope of the line that passes through (-19, -33) and (47, 5)
Vera_Pavlovna [14]
Hello there! Slope is rise/run. The formula for finding slope is y2 - y1 / x2 - x1, where you subtract the first x and y-coordinates from the second x and y-coordinates. In other words, the order that the coordinates show up for this problem will be used in that order. For this case, here are the numbers that will be used for each.

y2: 5
y1 : -33
x2: 47
x1: -19

Let's plug it in to get 5 - (-33) / 47 - (-19). Now, let's subtract. Just by looking at the numbers, we will actually be adding the numbers, because when you add a negative number, you actually add. So 5 + 33 is 38. 47 + 19 is 66. 38/66 is 19/33 in simplest form. There. The slope of the line is 19/33.
