Answer:

y = (2/3)x + 4 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

For reference, a linear function has an equation of y = mx + b

The first thing we're going to do is use the slope formula, \frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1} or rise over run. In this case that looks like:

(-2-4) - (8 - -1)

-2 -4 comes out to - 6, and the denominator comes out to 9.

6/9 is equal to 2/3, which is our m or slope value.

Next we want to find the b value, or our y-intercept. To do that we'll plug one of the points into the equation with our new-found slope:

4 = (2/3)-1 +b

4 = -2/3 + b

4 2/3 = b

That means our complete equation is:

y = (2/3)x + 4 2/3

OR

y = (2/3)x + 14/3 (equivalent but an improper fraction rather than a mixed fraction).

A bulletin board measuring 28 dm long was divided among three subject areas in the ratio 2:2:3. How much space was alothed for e
Sphinxa [80]

Answer: Space was alloted for each subject is 8 dm, 8 dm, 12 dm.

Explanation:

Since we have given the length of bulletin board =28 dm

Let the share of three subject areas be 2x,2x,3x

According to question,

2x+2x+3x=28\\7x=28\\x=\frac{28}{7}\\x=4dm

so x=4 dm

Now,

Space was alloted for each subject is given as below:

First subject =2x=2\times 4=8 dm

Second subject =2x=2\times 4=8 dm

Third subject =3x=3\times 4=12 dm

THROUGH (-1,-2) PARALLEL TO Y +7/6X+1
julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

If a line is parallel to another line, the slopes of both lines are the same. So far the equation would be, y=7/6x+b. To find the value of b, you substitute the given point into the equation. -2=7/6(-1)+b, -2=-7/6+b, b=-5/6. So the equation of the line is y=7/6x-5/6.
