A student writes the equation for a line that has a slope of -6 and passes through the point (2, –8).

1 answer:

6 0

If you wrote this in point-slope form, it’ll be y+8=-6(x-2).

This equation written in slope intercept form would be y = -6x+4.

He messed up because he was supposed to change the double negative into a positive then solve. He was not supposed to add 8 on both sides.

So, the answer is y = -6x+4.

Hope this helps!

What does the point (1994, 400) on the graph represent?

yuradex [85]

Answer: There are 400 tadpoles in the year 1994.

This is because any point is of the form (x,y) where in this case

x = year number

y = tadpole population number

So (x,y) = (1994, 400) means x = 1994 and y = 400 pair up together.

In short, the year x = 1994 corresponds to the population of y = 400 tadpoles.

From the years 1990 to 1992, the population is increasing since the curve goes upward when moving from left to right. Then from 1992 to 1993, the population decreases hitting its lowest point in that specific region. From 1993 to 1997, the population increases before it decreases again from 1997 to 1999.
