Answer:

y = -1/3x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Using points on the graph to get the equation

Slope intercept form:

y = mx + b

From the graph, point (0, -5) we can see y-intercept is b = -5

An calculating the slope using two points (-6, -3) and (6, -7):

m = (-7 - (-3)) / (6 - (-6)) = -4 / 12 = -1/3

So the line is:

y = -1/3x - 5

A farmer has chickens and cows. You ask the farmer how many chickens he has, and how many cows he has. The farmer has 28 healthy

crimeas [40]

Set the number of chickens as x and number of cows as y
so the farmer has total 28 animals
so x+y=28
you know that since the animals are healthy
chickens will have 2 legs and
cows will have 4 legs
the total number of legs are 64
so 2x+4y=64
since you want to find the number of cows
so from the first equation x+y=28
we will get another equation x=28-y
then plug into 2x+4y=64
2(28-y)+4y=64
56-2y+4y=64
56+2y=64
-56 -56
2y=8
y=4

An equation of the line that passes through the given point and is parallel to the graph of the given equation

notsponge [240]

To construct the equations for these lines, we are going to use the point-slope formula, which is:

$(y - y_1) = m(x - x_1)$

$m$ is the slope of the line
$(x_1, y_1)$ is a point on the line

In this case, our point is (2, -1) and our line has a slope of 5. (Remember that the line is parallel, meaning that it has the same slope as the given line. Since the line is in the y = mx + b format, we could easily pick out the slope m as being 5.)

Thus, we can "plug in" what we know into our formula to find the equation of our line:

$(y + 1) = 5(x - 2)$
