Answer:

y=-2x-4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Slope, m = -2

It passes through the point (1,-6).

We need to find the equation of line that passes throgh the given point. It can be calculated as:

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

Put y₁ = -6, x₁ = 1 and m = -2

$y-(-6)=(-2)(x-1)\\\\y+6=-2x+2\\\\y+2x+6-2=0\\\\y=-2x-4$

Hence, the equation of line is y=-2x-4.

Answer:

12. Option b: 20 is the correct answer.

13. Option a: A rose costs $1 more than a daisy is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

12. Given that:

15x+10y=700 Eqn 1

x+y=60 Eqn 2

To find x, we will eliminate y be multiplying Eqn 2 by 10

10(x+y=60)

10x+10y=600 Eqn 3

Subtracting Eqn 3 from Eqn 2

(15x+10y)-(10x+10y)=700-600

15x+10y-10x-10y=100

5x=100

Dividing both sides by 5

$\frac{5x}{5}=\frac{100}{5}\\x=20$

Hence,

Option b: 20 is the correct answer.

13. Given that:

5x+4y=32 Eqn 1

x+6y=22 Eqn 2

Multiplying Eqn 2 by 5

5(x+6y=22)

5x+30y=110 Eqn 3

Subtracting Eqn 1 from Eqn 3

(5x+30y)-(5x+4y)=110-32

5x+30y-5x+4y=78

26y=78

Dividing both sides by 26

$\frac{26y}{26}=\frac{78}{26}\\y=3$

Putting y=3 in Eqn 2

x+6(3)=22

x+18=22

x=22-18

x=4

Hence,

Option a: A rose costs $1 more than a daisy is the correct answer.

Pani-rosa [81]

<h3>Answer: D. Kira used published data that is quantitative.</h3>

The published data refers to the government census info being published online. She did not do an observational study because she didn't go to each household herself (rather let the census workers do that task).

The data is quantitative because she is looking at the number of people living in homes in her city. Quantitative data is simply dealing with quantities or numbers. Contrast this with qualitative data that talks about something like color choice.
