Answer:

y = 2x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Two points on this line are (-2, 0) and (0, 4). Going from the first to the second, x increases by 2 (this is the 'run') and y increases by 4 ('rise').

Thus, the slope of this line is m = rise / run = 4/2 = 2

Using the slope-intercept formula, we get y = mx + b = 2x + b

Let x = -2 and y = 0 to find b: 0 = 2(-2) + b, so b = 4, and the desired equation is then:

y = 2x + 4

Answer:

$x^{2}$ - x - 24 = 0

a = 1

b = 1

c = -24

Step-by-step explanation:

(x + 4)(x - 5) = 4

x(x - 5) = $x^{2}$ - 5x

4(x - 5) = 4x - 20

$x^{2}$ - 5x + 4x - 20 = 4

$x^{2}$ - x - 20 = 4

$x^{2}$ - x - 20 - 4 = 0

$x^{2}$ - x - 24 = 0

a = 1

b = 1

c = -24

Lori is running in a marathon, which is 28.4 miles she ran 0.1 of it already. How far has Lori run?

hoa [83]

So she ran the 0.1 of the 28.4
That is she ran 1% of 28.4 miles
0.1 * 28.4 is 2.84

Hope this helps :)

What is the rational number equivalent to <br> __<br> 3.24?

guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

$\frac{324}{100}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Think of a rational number as a fraction. The definition of a rational number is that it is the ratio of integers that, when divided, is either an integer, a decimal that terminates, or a decimal that repeats. 6/3 = 2 (6/3 is a rational number that divides to 2); 1/2 = .5 (1/2 is a rational number that divides to .5 which is a terminating decimal, meaning it ends); 1/3 = .33333333 (1/3 is a rational number that divides to .3333333 which is a repeating decimal). If we want to express 3.24 as a rational number, let's first put it into fraction form. The 4 in .24 is in the hundredths place, so as a fraction, .24 is 24/100. Check this on your calculator. Divide 24 by 100 and you get .24. So now what we have is $3\frac{24}{100}$

Now express that mixed fraction as an improper and you're done. 3 times 100 is 300; 300 + 24 = 324. Put that back over 100 and your rational number is 324/100. Check that on your calculator, as well, just to see that it's true.
