Answer:

y = 6x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

(2, 8) & (1, 2)

First you want to find the slope of the line that passes through these points. To find the slope of the line, we use the slope formula: (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)

Plug in these values:

(2 - 8) / (1 - 2)

Simplify the parentheses.

= (-6) / (-1)

Simplify the fraction.

-6/-1

= 6

This is your slope. Plug this value into the standard slope-intercept equation of y = mx + b.

y = 6x + b

To find b, we want to plug in a value that we know is on this line: in this case, I will use the second point (1, 2). Plug in the x and y values into the x and y of the standard equation.

2 = 6(1) + b

To find b, multiply the slope and the input of x(1)

2 = 6 + b

Now, subtract 6 from both sides to isolate b.

-4 = b

Plug this into your standard equation.

y = 6x - 4

This is your equation.

Check this by plugging in the other point you have not checked yet (2, 8).

y = 6x - 4

8 = 6(2) - 4

8 = 12 - 4

8 = 8

Your equation is correct.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The translation represented by \left[\begin{array}{ccc}1\\4\\\end{array}\right]

interprets as a shift of 1 unit to the right ( add 1 to x- coordinate ) and a

shift of 4 units down ( subtract 4 from the y- coordinate ), then

(1, 4 ) → (1 + 1, 4 - 4 ) → (2, 0 )

(4, 4 ) → (4 + 1, 4 - 4 ) → (5, 0 )

(6, 2 ) → (6 + 1, 2 - 4 ) → (7, - 2 )

(1, 2 ) → (1 + 1, 2 - 4 ) → (2, - 2 )

Woody and Jen were paid $60 to paint the garage. Jim started at 8 a.M. And Woody didn't arrive until 10 a.M. The work was comple
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

$36

Step-by-step explanation:

Jim worked from 8am - 2 pm , which is 6 hours

Woody worked form 10am - 2pm, which is 4 hours

If we take the total time (4+6 = 10) and divide the amount they got, we have:

$60/10 = $6 per hour worked

Since Jim worked 6 hours, he will be paid 6 * 6 = $36

The rest, 60 - 36 = $24 would be paid to Woody (he worked less).

Jim's fair share of earning is $36
