Let's say Alice is 4 feet tall and Bob is 6 feet tall. The ratio of their heights is the required Alice:Bob = 2:3. That means Bob is 3/2 = 1.5 times taller than Alice.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
y = -3(x-3)^2 + 4
The number (x) that is (=) 10 less than (-) 6
x = 6 - 10 Subtract
x = -4
Answer:
y = -2x -4
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line is y = mx + b, where m is the slope of the line, and b is the y-intercept. We are told that the slope of the line is -2, so we can start with
y = mx + b
y = -2x + b
We can figure out the value of b by plugging in the coordinates of the point given (-2, 0)
0 = -2(-2) + b
0 = 4 + b
Subtract 4 from both sides of the equation
-4 = b
Then plug that value of b back into the equation above:
y = -2x + (-4) or y = -2x -4
