Answer:

y= 3/2x -14

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to solve this problem is y- y1 = m(x-x1), so plug in the coordinates according to the formula: y-(-8)= m(x-4). Then, find the reciprocal of the slope, which is 3/2. Plug 3/2 to where the slope belongs: y+8=3/2(x-4). Calculate to solve the rest: y =3/2x -14

Choose the scatter plot that shows a negative correlation.

Alenkinab [10]

Negative correlation between two variables means when x is increasing but y is decreasing or vice versa.

First graph of suffered animals and children shows a positive slope which means if age of child increasing then numbers of suffered animal is also increasing.So, the first graph show a positive correclation.

Second graph of survey of adults doesn't represnt any distinct relationship as the data scattered randomly everywhere in the graph. So, it's showsa very week correlation.

Third graph of speed and MPG shows a negative slope as speed is increasing then MPG is decreasing. So, the third graph (speed and MPG) shows a negative correlation.

What is 2 gallons minus 5 quarts

There are 4 quarts in a gallon.
In two gallons would be 8 quarts.

2 gallons - 5 quarts = 8 quarts - 5 quarts = 3 quarts.

Note: 3 quarts is 3/4 or .75 of a gallon.

Here are two polygons on a grid. Is PQRST a scaled copy of ABCDE?

Bezzdna [24]

*see attachment showing the two polygons in a grid.

Answer:

No, PQRST is not a scale copy of ABCDE because we the sides are not increased proportionally.

Step-by-step explanation:

A polygon can be said to be a scaled copy of another polygon, if the the same scale factor is used in scaling every segment of the preimage or original image to get the length of the corresponding segments of the scale copy or image. In order words, all segments must be scaled proportionally.

Polygon PQRST, which is the new image, has different scale factors used in scaling the various segments of the preimage. In simple terms, the sides of PQRST were not increased proportionally. Therefore, PQRST is not a scaled copy of ABCDE.
