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

tatiyna

Answer:

3.25 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Irri is traveling in a group of 8 cat warriors. Each cat needs 4 liters of milk per day to maintain good morale.

The total number of liters for the cat is calculated as:

8 × 4 liters of milk

= 32 liters of milk.

Another cat has enough milk to last for 2days.

= 4 liters of milk × 2 days

= 8 liters

Mirri has a supply of 96 liters of milk.

Total liters of milk = 96 liters + 8 liters

= 104 liters

Which equation can we use to find the total number of days the milk will last?

This is calculated as:

= 104 liters/32 liters

= 3.25 days
