Answer:

y = \frac{1}{4} x  

Step-by-step explanation:

1) First, find the slope of the equation. Use the slope formula m= \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}. Substitute the x and y values of the given points into the formula and solve:

m = \frac{(2)-(1)}{(8)-(4)} \\m = \frac{2-1}{8-4}\\m = \frac{1}{4}

Thus, the slope is \frac{1}{4}.

2) Now, use the point-slope formula y-y_1 = m (x-x_1) to write the equation in point-slope form (from there we can convert it to slope-intercept). Substitute values for m, x_1, and y_1.

Since m represents the slope, substitute \frac{1}{4} for it. Since x_1 and y_1 represent the x and y values of one point the line intersects, choose any of the given points (it doesn't matter which one, the end result will be the same) and substitute its x and y values into the formula as well. (I chose (4,1), as seen below.) Then, isolate y to put the equation in slope-intercept form and find the answer.

y-(1) = \frac{1}{4} (x-4)\\y-1 = \frac{1}{4} x-1\\y = \frac{1}{4} x+0\\y=\frac{1}{4}x

<h3>What are ratio and proportion?</h3>

A ratio is a collection of ordered integers a and b represented as a/b, with b never equaling zero. A proportionate expression is one in which two items are equal.

The equation is given below.

12.5 mg : 5 mL = 24 mg : x mL

Then the value of x will be

12.5 / 5 = 24 / x

          x = (24 × 5) / 12.5

          x = 9.6 mL

More about the ratio and the proportion link is given below.

Answer:

  58

Step-by-step explanation:

The marked points on the graph show that the number of hot cocoas sold decreases by 6 when the temperature goes up by 6 degrees. That is, the line has a slope of -1. The y-intercept is 100, so the equation of the line can be written as ...

  y = mx +b . . . . . line with slope m and y-intercept b

  y = -x +100

Then for x = 42, the expected value of y is ...

  y = -42 +100 = 58

Mei Mei can expect to sell 58 hot cocoas on a day when the high is 42°F.

Find the inverse of y=100-x^2
AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

The inverse  is ±sqrt(100-x)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the inverse, exchange x and y

x = 100 -y^2

Solve for y

Subtract 100 from each side

x - 100 = -y^2

Divide by -1

-x +100 = y^2

Take the square root of each side

±sqrt(100-x) = sqrt(y^2)

±sqrt(100-x) =y

The inverse  is ±sqrt(100-x)
