Answer:

<h2>           y = -⁵/₂x - 12 </h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The point-slope form of the equation is y - y₀ = m(x - x₀), where (x₀, y₀) is any point the line passes through and m is the slope:

m = -⁵/₂

(-4, -2)    ⇒   x₀ = -4,  y₀ = -2

The point-slope form of the equation:

y + 2 = -⁵/₂(x + 4)

So:

y + 2 = -⁵/₂x - 10         {subtract 2 from both sides}

y = -⁵/₂x - 12             ←  the slope-intercept form of the equation

2x+5y=11 and 4x+3y=1 solve with elimination
storchak [24]
Multiply you first equation by 2 to get 4x + 10y = 22
Now the x terms can be eliminated and cancelled out using elimination.
4x + 10y = 22
4x + 3y = 1

To eliminate you need to "subtract", so you need to multiply one of the equations by -1. 

4x + 10y = 22
-4x -3y = -1
------------------
0 + 7y = 21
y = 3

Now plug 3 into either one of the equations to get x.

Identify the slope y-intercept of the function y= -2x + 3.​
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

First option.

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the formula y = mx + b.

Where m is the slope, and b is the y-intercept.

y = -2x + 3

The slope is -2. The y-intercept is (0, 3).

What is 30% of 8 cups?
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

<h2>30% of 8 cups is 2.4 cups</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

\bold{METHOD\ 1:}\\\\p\%=\dfrac{p}{100}\\\\30\%=\dfrac{30}{100}=0.3\\\\30\%\ of\ 8\ cups\to0.3\cdot8\ cups=2.4\ cups

\bold{METHOD\ 2:}\\\\\begin{array}{ccc}100\%&-&8\ cups\\\\30\%&-&x\end{array}\qquad\text{cross multilpy}\\\\100x=(30)(8)\\\\100x=240\qquad\text{divide both sides by 100}\\\\\dfrac{100x}{100}=\dfrac{240}{100}\\\\x=2.4
