Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To do this we will first use the slope formula to find the slope of the line. Given 2 points, you can't do anything else BUT find the slope. Always start there. The slope formula is:

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Plugging in our values from the points where y2 is 7, y1 is 3, x2 is -4 and x1 is -2:

m=\frac{7-3}{-4-(-2)}=\frac{7-3}{-4+2}=\frac{4}{-2}=-2

So the slope is -2. Now we will pick either point and use the x and y coordinates to fill in the point-slope form of a line, which is:

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

where y1 and x1 are the coordinates from the point we pick, and m is the slope we just solved for. It doesn't matter which point you pick to use as your x and y coordinates; either one will give you the exact same equation...PROMISE!!

I chose (-2, 3), no reason in particular. x1 is -2 and y1 is 3:

y-3=-2(x-(-2)) which simplifies a bit to

y - 3 = -2(x + 2) and a bit more to

y - 3 = -2x - 4 and even more to

y = -2x - 4 + 3 and finally to our final line in slope-intercept form:

y = -2x - 1

Choice a.

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  C.  12

Step-by-step explanation:

Corresponding sides are proportional. Sides with the same mark are the same length.

  WX/XY = LM/MN = LM/KJ

  WX/10 = 18/15

  WX = 180/15 . . . . multiply by 10

  WX = 12

Coefficiants of (2x+y)^4​
sattari [20]

By the binomial theorem,

(2x+y)^4=\displaystyle\sum_{k=0}^4\binom 4k(2x)^{4-k}y^k=\sum_{k=0}^4\binom 4k2^{4-k}x^{4-k}y^k

where

\dbinom nk=\dfrac{n!}{k!(n-k)!}

Then the coefficients of the x^{4-k}y^k terms in the expansion are, in order from k=0 to k=4,

\dbinom 402^{4-0}=1\cdot2^4=16

\dbinom412^{4-1}=4\cdot2^3=32

\dbinom422^{4-2}=6\cdot2^2=24

\dbinom432^{4-3}=4\cdot2^1=8

\dbinom442^{4-4}=1\cdot2^0=1
