Write the equation of the line in slope-intercept form.

Answer: y=-3/4x

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope intercept form is when you use the equation y=mx+b (m is the slope and b is the y-intercept). First, let's find the y intercept. The y intercept is what y would be if x is 0. here, you can see that this particular line passes through the origin. So, the y-intercept is zero because when x passes through zero, y is also zero. Next, let's find the slope. The formula for slope is change in y/change in x. Let's randomly choose 2 points off this line. To make this a thousand times easier for us, let's choose the points (-4, 3) and (4, -3). Now, to find the change in y, let's find the difference between the 2 y coordinates we have chosen. To do this we just need to do -3-3, which gives us -6. Now let's find the change in x. To do this we will do the same thing we did to find the change in y but this time we'll use the x coordinates. We will do 4-(-4), which simplifies to 8. Now, we're almost done. Just divide the change in y by the change in x. You will get -6/8. This can be simplified to -3/4. So now we know our slope is -3/4 and our y-intercept is 0. Let's insert them into the equation. y=-3/4x+0. We know that we can just get rid of that 0 because 0 literally means nothing. So our final answer is y=-3/4x. Hope this helps!

A new car is purchased for $49,000 and over time its value depreciates by one half every 5 years. What is the value of the car 2
vovikov84 [41]

Principal: $49,000

Depreciation Rate: 50%

Depreciation Time: 5 years

Exponential Function: y = 49,000 (0.50)^x

Plug it in: y = 49,000 (0.50)^4

0.5^4= 0.0625

0.0625 x 49,000 = 3062.5

Value of Car after 20 years: 3062.5

Now, we need to find out how much the car decreases in ONE year.

Half of 3062.5 = 1531.25

1531.25/5 = 306.25

3062.5 - 306.25 = 2756.25

Value of car after 21 years: $2756 ---> 2800 (nearest hundred dollars my bad)

Hope this helps! Have a great day!

The Rivertown city council is attempting to choose one of four sites (A, B, C, or D) as the location for its new emergency facil
Vikki [24]

Answer:

SITE A

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

proposed-site Area-Served

1 2 3 4

A 5.2 4.4 3.6 6.5

B 6.0 7.4 3.4 4.0

C 5.8 5.9 5.9 5.8

D 4.3 4.8 6.5 5.1

Area 1 2 3 4

Number-runs 150 65 175 92

Computing the weighted average for the 4 sites :

Site A:

((150*5.2) + (65*4.4) + (175*3.6) + (92*6.5)) / (150 + 65 + 175 + 92)

= 2294 / 482

= 4.7593

Site B:

((150*6.0) + (65*7.4) + (175*3.4) + (92*4.0)) / (150 + 65 + 175 + 92)

= 2344/ 482

= 4.863

Site C:

((150*5.8) + (65*5.9) + (175*5.9) + (92*5.8)) / (150 + 65 + 175 + 92)

= 2819.6/ 482

= 5.850

Site D:

((150*4.3) + (65*4.8) + (175*6.5) + (92*5.1)) / (150 + 65 + 175 + 92)

= 2563.7/ 482

= 5.319

From the weighted average response time computed for the different sites ;

The best location for the emergency facility would be one with the least average response time; which is SITE A.

The angle measures 36°, 62°, 118°, and 144° are written on slips of paper. You choose two slips of paper at random.
Cerrena [4.2K]

1/4 would be the answer. Let me explain why first. You have in total 4 numbers with different out comes when added together. So your equation will start out as 4² = 16 out of the 16 different factors you have 4 sets that equal 180°. Your new fraction would be 4/16 which can be divided by 4 to equal 1/4. Hopes that helps!
