Answer:

y = 2*x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that a linear function can be written as:

y = a*x + b

Where a is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

We know that if this line passes through the points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) the slope can be written as:

a = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

So, here we know that our line must pass through the points (-2,0) and (0, 4)

Then the slope of this line is:

a = (4 - 0)/(0 - (-2))

a = 4/2 = 2

Then our line is something like:

y = 2*x + b

Now, to find the value of b we can use one of these two points, for example if we use the point (-2, 0), we know that, when x = -2, we must have y = 0.

0 = 2*(-2) + b

0 = -4 + b

4 = b

Then the equation for our line is:

y = 2*x + 4

Corner Grocery charges $4.80 for 12 sodas. Max's Market charges $5.25 for 15 sodas.
weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

To do this, just do 12 divided by 4.80 = 2.5 dollars per can at Corner Grocery, and at Max's Market 15 divided by 5.25 = 2.85 per can. So the Corner Grocery has a better unit price by 35 cents.

Thanks for your question.

If someone could help it would be greatly appreciated.
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

a) line segment

b) point

c) line

Step-by-step explanation:

A line segment is made up of 2 points.

No matter where the lines intersect (doesn't have to be perpendicular), it forms a point.

A line is straight, hence the 3 collinear points.

Take the LCM of the three numbers. Since 2 is a multiple of 4, you can ignore the two and just take the LCM of 4 and 3.5. Since 3.5 is a decimal, the LCM is just 3.5*4 which is 14. That is how many minutes after 8:00 they will flash together again.<span />
