So your equation is currently in point-slope form; however, to figure out the slope and y-intercept, you'd be better off in slope-intercept form: y = mx + b
while in point-slope form, y - y1 = m(x - x1), you can definitely see the slope as -5, you can't see the y-intercept as easily. x-intercepts are actually the solutions/zeros of a function, and it was included in the answer choices to confuse you.
you're correct about -5 being a decreasing slope. but to figure out the y-intercept, you need to convert to slope-intercept form.
y - 4 = -5(x + 1) ... distribute the -5
y - 4 = -5x - 5 ... add 4
y = -5x - 1
and in the form of y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept, you can see that you have a decreasing slope of -5 and a y-intercept of -1. your correct answer is A. choices C and D were thrown in to distract you and make you think that the -5(x + 1) was somehow related to discovering the x-intercept.
There isn't any work that u can show for this, but the answer is 12
Answer:
This is not a linear function.
Step-by-step explanation:
It is a quadratic function. If you were to make a table of the x and y values of the function it would look like this:
x y
0 -4
1 -1
2 8
Just by looking at these three values, we can see that they do not increase at a consistent rate. It increases by 3 from 0 to 1, but increase by 9 from 1 to 2. You can tell if a function is linear by seeing if it increases at a constant rate. (In this case it does not)

Answer:
first find 20 percent of 270
270 times 20 divided by 100
5400 divided by 100
54
270 plus 54
324 is your final answer
-hope this helps!
