Answer:

y = -1/2x + 9

Step-by-step explanation:

(0, 9) and (8, 5)

First you want to find the slope of the line that passes through these points. To find the slope of the line, we use the slope formula: (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)

Plug in these values:

(5 - 9) / (8 - 0)

Simplify the parentheses.

= (-4) / (8)

Simplify the fraction.

-4/8

= -1/2

This is your slope. Plug this value into the standard slope-intercept equation of y = mx + b.

y = -1/2x + b

To find b, we want to plug in a value that we know is on this line: in this case, I will use the second point (8, 5). Plug in the x and y values into the x and y of the standard equation.

5 = -1/2(8) + b

To find b, multiply the slope and the input of x(8)

5 = -4 + b

Now, add 4 to both sides to isolate b.

9 = b

Plug this into your standard equation.

y = -1/2x + 9

This is your equation.

Check this by plugging in the other point you have not checked yet (0, 9).

y = -1/2x + 9

9 = -1/2(0) + 9

9 = 0 + 9

9 = 9

Your equation is correct.

Hope this helps!

Here is a list of ages (years) of children in a room: 5, 8, 5, 6, 8, 3, 6 State the median.
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

The median of a list of numbers is the number found in the "middle" of all the numbers. What this means is that it has the same amount of numbers larger and smaller than it in the list. To find the median, we first have to organize the list from least to greatest. Doing this, we get 3, 5, 5, 6, 6, 8, 8.

Now that we have the list, we can find the "middle number" by taking off numbers the highest number then the lowest number. Doing this we get

3, 5, 5, 6, 6, 8, 8

5, 5, 6, 6, 8

5, 6, 6

6

This means our median is 6.

Use the graph of the polynomial function to find the factored form of the related polynomial assume it has no constant factor
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

(D)(x-2)(x+2)

Step-by-step explanation:

As raízes do polinômio são 2 e -2, portanto sua forma fatorada tem que ser (x-x1)(x-x2) se x1=2 e x2=-2. Então:

p(x) = (x-2)(x+2)

Y=3/8x−4 write in standard form
Naddik [55]
Answer:

y=3/8x-4
Move the expression to the left
y-3/8x=-4
Multiply both sides by 8
8y-3x=-32
Reorder the terms
-3x+8y=-32
Change the signs and standard form is...
3x-8y=32
