How do i find an equation for a line with an x-intercept of 4 and a y-intercept of -2

Answer:

The equation of a line is y = ax + b, where a is the slope and b is the y-intercept.  

Since we have the y-intercept, all we need to do is find the slope. To find the slope, you need 2 coordinates.

The y-intercept is where the line crosses the y axis, so it is where x is 0. Since the y intercept is -2, that means the first coordinate is (0, -2)

The x-intercept is where the line crosses the x axis, so it is where y is 0. Since the x intercept is 4, that means the second coordinate is (4, 0)

Since we already have the y-intercept, all we do is put the slope in the equation: y = 1/2x - 2.

Answer:

15 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Radius of a solid sphere : mass of a solid sphere

3 cm : 9 kg

Find the mass of a sphere of the same material of radius 5 cm

Radius of a solid sphere : mass of a solid sphere

5 cm : x kg

Equate both ratios to find x

3 cm : 9 kg = 5 cm : x kg

3/9 = 5/x

3 * x = 9 * 5

3x = 45

x = 45/3

x = 15 kg

The mass of a sphere of the same material of radius 5 cm is 15 kg

Line M is represented by the equation -2/3+8. Line W is perpendicular and passes through the point (4,3)
goblinko [34]

Answer:

y= -3/2x+9

Step-by-step explanation:

Well we have to know that to find a line perpendicular to a given line, you have to have opposite slopes. So that makes the equation begin as y=-3/2x because it's opposite of y=2/3x. Then we have to make sure it goes through the point (4,3). To do that, I tweaked the numbers in my graphing calculator and it worked with 9! So the equation is y= -3/2x+9
