Answer:

y = -2x + 9

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the new line is the same as that of this given line, EXCEPT that the constant will be different.

Start with y = mx + b; substitute 1 for y, 4 for x and -2 for m:

1 = -2(4) + b

Then b = 9, and y = -2x + 9

Hello! So Carlos' sister reads an average of 24 pages in 1 hour. He reads 144 pages in 3 hours. To find the unit rate Carlos reads, let's do some division. 144/3 is 48. Carlos reads an average of 48 pages in 1 hour. If you use mental math, 48 is double the amount of 24. 200% is just simply 2. 24 * 2 is 48. D is the only one that shows an answer that even fits for this scenario. Carlos' average reading rate is 200% of his sister's. The answer is D: 200%.

On a coordinate plane, 2 straight lines are shown. The first solid line has a positive slope and goes through (0, negative 2) an

ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

$y\geq x-2$

$x+2y$

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the equation of the first inequality

Find the equation of the first solid line

we have the ordered pairs

(0,-2) and (2,0)

Find the slope

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

$m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

substitute the values

$m=\frac{0+2}{2-0}$

$m=\frac{2}{2}$

$m=1$

The equation in slope intercept form is equal to

$y=mx+b$

we have

$m=1$

$b=-2$ ---> the y-intercept is given

substitute

$y=x-2$

Remember that

Everything to the left of the solid line is shaded

The inequality is

$y\geq x-2$

step 2

Find the equation of the second inequality

Find the equation of the second dashed line

we have the ordered pairs

(0,2) and (4,0)

Find the slope

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

$m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

substitute the values

$m=\frac{0-2}{4-0}$

$m=\frac{-2}{4}$

$m=-\frac{1}{2}$

The equation in slope intercept form is equal to

$y=mx+b$

we have

$m=-\frac{1}{2}$

$b=2$ ---> the y-intercept is given

substitute

$y=-\frac{1}{2}x+2$

Remember that

Everything below and to the left of the line is shaded

The inequality is

$y$

Rewrite

Multiply by 2 both sides

$2y$

$x+2y$

therefore

The system of inequalities is

$y\geq x-2$

$x+2y$

see the attached figure to better understand the problem
