Using the slope and the y-intercept graph the line represents by the following equation then select the correct graph 2y + 4 =0
1 answer:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
2y + 4 = 0 <em>subtract 4 from both sides</em>
2y = -4 <em>divide both sides by 2</em>
y = -2
The slope-intercept form of an equation of a line:
y = mx + b
m<em> - slope</em>
b<em> - y-intercept → (0, </em><em>b</em><em>)</em>
In the equation
y = -2
<em>slope: </em><em>m = 0</em>
<em>y-intercept: </em><em>b = -2 → (0, -2)</em>
<em />
<em>y = -2 - it's a horizontal line</em>

We can rephrase the question as "What percent of 50 is 20?".
"What percent ..." is an unknown. We'll use the variable x to represent this unknown.
The word 'of' in mathematics can mean 'multiply'. Likewise the word 'is' can mean 'equal'.
Now we have the phrase "20 equals to x times 50".
Or in an equation: 20 = x * 50
Solve for x.
20 = x * 50
= x <-- Divide both sides by 50
Simplify the fraction.
Convert the fraction into a decimal.
= 0.4
Convert the decimal into a percent.
0.4 = 40%
So, 40% is the answer.
