Answer:
2. y = -1/2x - 1
Step-by-step explanation:
First we want to find the slope of the line.
To find the slope of the line, we use the slope formula: (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)
Plug in these values using two points (-4, 1) & (2, -2)
(-2 - 1) / (2 - (-4))
Simplify the parentheses.
= (-2 - 1) / (2 + 4)
= (-3) / (6)
Simplify the fraction.
-3/6
= -1/2
This is your slope. Plug this value into the standard slope-intercept equation of y = mx + b.
y = -1/2x + b
b is the y-intercept when the line crosses the y-axis.
From the graph, we can see that the point on the y-axis is (0, -1)
Therefore, b is -1.
Plug this into the equation.
y = -1/2x - 1
Hope this helps!
Answer:
-18x -13
Step-by-step explanation:
-4(2x+3) - 2x + 1-(8x + 2)
We cannot solve since there is no equals, but we can simplify
Distribute
-8x -12 -2x +1 -8x -2
Combine like terms
-8x-2x -8x -12 +1 -2
-18x -13
Let's say each row has x desks and there are y rows.
We then know that x*y =25
We also know that x*2-5=y (number number of rows is five less than twice the number of desks in each row)
So we substitute: x*(x*2-5)=25
putting numbers out of the brackets:
2x*x-5x=25
2x*x-5x-25=0
(2x+5)(x-5)=0 (this bracketing is true: you can check it by expanding it:
2x*x-10x+5x-25
So that means that either x=-2.5which can't be : there can't be a fractional number of benches,
or x=5
so each row has 5 desks and there are 2*5-5 rows, or 5 rows.
