The answer is y=1/2x -2

-In order to find this, you need to find the slope first.
-Since the x-intercept is (4,0) and the y-intercept is (0,-2), we can use (y-y1)/(x-x1).
-So, (0 - -2)/(4 - 0) = 2/4 = 1/2 (this is the slope)
-Using y=mx+b, where m= the slope and b=the y-intercept, plug in 1/2 for m and -2 for b
-Now the equation is y=1/2x -2

1. first find the slope from the two points (4,0) and (0,-2)

    the equation is  y2 -y1/ x2 - x1

2. From doing that you will get a slope of 1/2

3. Since we need a y intercept of -2, when you plug in x to the equation the y must equal -2

   the only equation that fits those needs is y = 1/2x - 2

4. You can check by plugging in x as 4(which should give you y = 0), or plug in x as 0(which should give you y = -2

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]
Filling in the given values in point-slope equation
  y = m(x -x₁) +y1
you have
  y = 1(x -5) +3

This simplifies to ...
  A. y = x - 2

A soccer team played 25 games last season. They won 16 games, lost 5 games, and tied the rest.
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

16% or 4/25

Step-by-step explanation:

16 + 5 = 21

25 - 21 = 4

4/25 = 16%

This is right because 21/25 is 84% and 84% + 16% = 100%
