-2
Divide each term (-4x = 8 by -4)
Cancel the common factor of -4
x = 8/-4
THEN DIVIDE
x=-2
On Monday she made 50 throws.
On Tuesday she made 56 throws.
a) The increase is just how much more she made the next day.
56 - 50 = 6
She had an increase of 6 free throws.
b) To find the percent increase, all you do is divide the two numbers.
56/50 = 1.12
To change that into a percentage, either multiply it by 100 or move the decimal point two places to the right.
1.12 × 100 = 112
She had a 112% increase in her free throws.
The answer is:
D. 6; 112%
Answer:
Technically neither, but Mia is correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b
Since our slope <em>m</em> is equal to 6, it is a positive number. That means that the slope/line will be positive, so the line should be going up, not down. That means the blue line would be correct. Therefore, Mia is correct.
Technicality:
Since the blue line is dotted, the equation should be a <em>inequality </em>and not a linear equation. No solutions on the line would technically work. If the equation was y < 6x + 4 or something with an inequality sign, then it would be correct.
