\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{1}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{4})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{3}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{-4}) \\\\\\ slope = m\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise}{ y_2- y_1}}{\stackrel{run}{ x_2- x_1}}\implies \cfrac{-4-4}{3-1}\implies \cfrac{-8}{2}\implies -4 \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-4=-4(x-1) \\\\\\ y-4=-4x+4\implies y=-4x+8

Answer:

y=-4x+8

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the slope of the line using the slope formula.

-4-4/3-1=-4, The slope is -4.

Next, find the value of b by plugging in the value of the slope and either coordinate's x and y-values.  I will use the point (1,4).

y=mx+b

4 = -4(1)+b, Solve for b.

4 = -4+b

b = 8 The equation of the line is: y=-4x+8

If fixed costs are $561,000 and the unit contribution margin is $8.00, what is the break-even point in units if variable costs a
olga nikolaevna [1]
The break even point is the point where in the total cost and the total revenue of the business are of the same value which means there is no profit or no loss. It is would be the minimum point that a business to reach in order to be able to recover the costs without any loss. At this point selling cost is equal to the sum of the fixed cost and the variable cost. To determine the break even point in units, we do as follows:

SC = FC + VC
Px = FC + Vx
where x is the number of units, P is the price per unit and V is the variable cost per unit.

x = FC / P - V
x = 561000 / (8.00 - 0.50)
x = 74800 units

Which statements are true for the functions g(x) = x2 and h(x) = –x2 ? Check all that apply.
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

if x=0 then they have same value

1st and 2nd options are out

for x=-1

g(-1)=1

h(-1)=-1

3rd is true

4th

false

for all values except zero, g(x)>h(x)

correct ones are

ANSWER: g(x) > h(x) for x = -1.

For positive values of x, g(x) > h(x).

For negative values of x, g(x) > h(x).

PLZZZ HURRY!!<br> What is the series in summation notation?
dexar [7]

Answer:

A series can be represented in a compact form, called summation or sigma notation. The Greek capital letter, ∑ , is used to represent the sum. The series 4+8+12+16+20+24 can be expressed as 6∑n=14n . The expression is read as the sum of 4n as n goes from 1 to 6 .
