Y=-1/4x+8

First find the slope

Slope= y-y1/x-x1

So (6-7)/(8-4) = -1/4

Now take that slope and use one of the points and plug them into the point slope formula to solve for your y intercept.

Point slope formula: y=mx+b

So 7=-1/4(4)+b OR 6=-1/4(8)+b

Either way you’ll get b=8!

Put em together and you get: y=-1/4x+8

Ps you can double check your answer by plugging in one or both of the points into your equation to see if it works :)

Please Help<br> What does the missing angle in the triangle measure?
damaskus [11]

Answer:

x = 60

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the angles of a triangle is 180

95+25 +x = 180

120 +x = 180

Subtract 120 from each side

120+x-120 = 180-120

x = 60

What is the equation of y = x ^ 3 with the given transformations? vertical compression by a factor of horizontal shift 8 units t
dexar [7]

Answer: y = 3 (x -4)^3

Step-by-step explanation: horizontal shift of 4 units to the right (subtract 4 units from the x):   y = 3(x - 4)^3

Vertical shift 3 units down (subtract 3 units from the function):   y = 3(x - 4)^3 - 3

How do you factor 8x+56?
Aleksandr [31]
If you mean how do you get x by it's you divide both sides by 8, to cancel out the multiplication between x and 8, meaning that it would end up being x=7, sorry if that didn't answer your question correctly.
