Answer: y = -2x + 8

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the equation of the line , we will use the formula:

\frac{y_{2}- y_{1}}{x_{2}- x_{1}} = \frac{y-y_{1}}{x - x_{1}}

From the question

x_{1} = 1

x_{2} = 3

y_{1} = 6

y_{2} = 2

substituting into the formula , we have

\frac{2 - 6}{3 - 1} = \frac{y - 6}{x - 1}

\frac{-4}{2} = \frac{y - 6}{x - 1}

cross multiplying , we have

2(y-6) = -4(x-1)

Expanding , we have

2y - 12 = -4x + 4

Adding 12 to both sides , we have

2y = -4x + 16

dividing through by 2 , we have

y = -2x + 8

Therefore , the equation of the line is given as

y = -2x + 8

280 is divided between Krutika, Natasha & Richard so that Krutika gets twice as much as Natasha, and Natasha gets three time
Tasya [4]

Answer:

Natasha gets 84

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to know how much Natasha gets

Krutika gets 2 times as much as Natasha

If Natasha gets x, Krutika gets 2x

If Natasha gets x, Richard will get x/3 ( 3 times of this is what Natasha gets)

Now let us have a ratio;

K : N : R

2x : x : x/3

Multiply through by 3

6x : 3x : x

To get the amount Natasha gets, we add up all ratio; (6x + 3x + x ) = 10x

Natasha gets 3x of the total ratio

That will be;

3x /10x * 280

= 3/10 * 280

= 84
