Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Equation of a line is given as:
y = mx + b
Where
m is the slope
and
b is the y-intercept (y-axis cutting point)
Since we know slope is -4, we can write:
y= mx + b
y = -4x+ b
Given the point (-2,7) , we can say:
x = -2
and
y = 7
Plugging these 2 values, we can solve for b:
y = -4x + b
7 = -4(-2) + b
7 = 8 + b
b = 7 - 8
b = -1
Now, we have the equation:
56 dived by 2 equals 28. 28=green ribbon. Brown ribbon is 4 times as long. 28 times 4 equals 112. The brown ribbon is 112 cm long.
The values are x = 8 and x = -1.
To find the undefined values, we need to know when the denominator is zero.
To do this, we need to factor it and find the value that would make either factor equal to zero.
If factors to: (x - 8)(x + 1)
Therefore, the undefined values would be at 8 and -1.
