Answer:

We have a slope and a point, this way, we do not need to find the slope using two points. We can find the line using the Slope Form to turn it into Slope-Intercept Form, also known as "y = mx + b". We can use the Slope Form which is "y - y1 = m(x - x1)". A coordinate is "(x,y)", so that means, "(-1,4)" means that x = -1 and y = 4. We can substitute y1 for 4 and x1 for -1, and m for -5 since m is the slope. Plugging that information into the Slope Form Formula we get "y - 4 = -5(x - (-1))". We know that a negative with a negative turn positive, so we can use this information to change the formula to "y - 4 = -5(x + 1)". Now we distribute and simplify, these steps are shown below.

y - 4 = -5(x + 1)

y - 4 = -5x -5

y - 4 + 4 = -5x - 5 + 4

y = -5x - 1

Now that we have simplified it, we can see that the slope is -5 and the -1 is the y-intercept. To check this is a linear equation is to graph it, or substitute three x-coordinate or y-coordinates and draw a line. In conclusion, the equations is y = -5x - 1.

Write a complete sentence that states the type of transformation that was preformed and explains the transformation in detail. Q
LUCKY_DIMON [66]
The green figure is the original quadrilateral, ABCD.  The red is the image, EFGH.  You can see from the figure that they are both oriented (turned) the same way.  It appears that the transformation applied was a translation.  Each ordered pair has an <em>x</em>-coordinate that is 4 larger than the preimage and a <em>y</em>-coordinate that is 5 smaller than the preimage.  Therefore the transformation was a translation 4 units right and 5 units down.

The model represents the equation x - 1 &lt; -4. What is the solution for the inequality?
Step2247 [10]

Answer:

any number equal to or less than -4

Step-by-step explanation:

x - 1 < -4

< represents that -4 is a larger number than x - 1. we know that -4 is a negative number, so anything below -4 would be less. x = -4 would be a good solution, but the reality is that any number equal to or less than -4 is the correct answer. I hope this helps!

Identify the type of study design in the following scenario:
svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

c. observational study

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Researchers compare the rates of autism for children who did and did not receive the standard measles-mumps-rubella vaccine, to see if the vaccine might be responsible for autism in some children.</em>

This study design in the above scenario is observational study because the researcher are obviously observing whether the vaccine is affecting the children. Note that Observational study is like experiment which attempts to understand the cause and effect relationships on a subject.
