Answer:
y = -(2/3)x - 5
Step-by-step explanation:
y-int = -5
m = rise/run
m = (-5-(-3))/(0-(-3))
m = -(2/3)
therefore,
y = -(2/3)x - 5
Answer:
a. y = -1/2x - 2
Step-by-step explanation:
The correct answer choice can be determined by finding the slope of the line. The slope is the ratio of rise to run.
__
<h3>slope</h3>
The x-intercept is 4 units left of the y-axis. As the line "runs" those 4 units, it "rises" -2 units to intercept the y-axis at -2. The slope of the line is ...
m = rise/run = -2/4 = -1/2
In the slope-intercept form of the equation of a line, the slope is the coefficient of x. This information is sufficient to let us choose the first answer choice.
__
<h3>equation</h3>
The slope-intercept equation is ...
y = mx +b . . . . . . . slope m, y-intercept b
We know the slope is -1/2, and the y-intercept is where x=0, at y=-2. Then the equation is ...
y = -1/2x -2 . . . . . matches choice A

<em>Additional comment</em>
When answering multiple-choice questions, you only need to do enough work to tell which answers are <em>not</em> viable.
When we plot the points, we see that the line has negative slope. (eliminates choice C). The slope is shallow, rather than steep (the x-intercept is farther from the origin than the y-intercept), so the magnitude of the slope is less than 1 and choices B and D are eliminated.
The answer is 9, to find it just do inverse and in this case that is 12-3 and u should always get the answer
Answer:
The value has increased by <u>8 percent</u>.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
The value of a house has increased by $4,200 in the past year.
The value last year was $52,500.
Now, to find the percent increased.
<em>Value of house = $52,500.</em>
<em>Value of house last year increased by = $4200.</em>
So, to get the percent increased:




Therefore, the value has increased by 8 percent.
