Answer:
B. y = 1.5x +8
Step-by-step explanation:
You can try x=4 in the various equations to see which gives the right value (14).
__
A: y = -8(4) +1.5 = -30.5
B: y = 1.5(4) +8 = 14 . . . . . . . . . this equation works
C: y = 8(4) +1.5 = 33.5
D: y = -1.5(4) +8 = 2
__
Alternatively, you can use the 2-point form of the equation of a line to write the equation:
y = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)(x -x1) +y1
y = (20 -14)/(8 -4)(x -4) +14 . . . . fill in (x1, y1) = (4, 14); (x2, y2) = (8, 20)
y = 1.5(x -4) +14 . . . . . simplify somewhat
y = 1.5x +8 . . . . . . . . write in slope-intercept form
The answer is 5. Hope this helps
0.5-0.24.....hmm...1/4 is half of 1/2....so what could you estimate?
In order to solve an equation by factoring, it should be that the equation is equal to zero.
m^2 + 8m + 7 = 0
For this case we have, to do completing the square in order to factor this equation.
<span>
m^2 + 8m = -7
</span><span>m^2 + 8m + 16 = -7 +16
</span><span>(m+4) (m+4) = 9
</span><span>(m+4)^2 = 9
Take the square root of both sides,
m+4 = 3
m = -1</span><span>

The answer to that is a isosceles triangle <span />
