As we go from (-1,4) to (3,0), increases by 4 and y decreases by 4.  Thus, the slope of this line is m = rise / run = -4/4 = -1.

Let's use the slope-intercept form of the equation of a line:

y = mx + b

Replace y with 0 and x with 3 (from (3,0), and m with -1:

0 = (-1)(3) + b.  Then b = 3, and the desired equation is y = -x + 3.

The mean of 4 numbers is 15. 3 of the numbers are 18, 14 and 12. What is the other number?
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

Call the numbers a, b, c, d. What does it say if their mean is 15? That would be that added together then divided by 4 you get 15. So the number before you divided by 4, which is the sum, was 60. If you know some algebra, the equation (a+b+c+d)/4=15 gives the sum of 60 when you multiply both sides
