Answer:

y= -1/4x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

first you need to find the slope.

to do this you can use the equation: change in y/change in x which is also y2 - y1/x2-x1

-8 - (-6)/12-4

-2/8

-1/4 = slope

since the line's equation is y = mx + b, we still need to find the y-intercept. we can do this by just plugging in one of the points

-6 = -1/4(4) + b

-6 = -1 + b

-5 = b

so the final equation is y= -1/4x - 5

On Friday, a fruit stand sold a total of 92 apples and oranges. On Saturday, the fruit stand sold four times the number of apple
andreev551 [17]

Option A : a+o = 92 , 4a+2o = 284 is the right answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Let o be the number of oranges sold on Friday and

a be the number of apples sold on Friday

So,

A total of 92 was sold on Friday will yield the equation

a+o = 92

On Saturday,

4 times the number of apples = 4a

2 times the number of oranges = 2o

So,

4a+2o = 284

Hence,

The system of equations is:

a+o = 92\\4a+2o = 284

Option A : a+o = 92 , 4a+2o = 284 is the right answer

Your friend Mel says he has an easier way to solve this problem. Here are the first steps in his method.
damaskus [11]

Simplifying

2x2 + 6x + 4 = 24

Reorder the terms:

4 + 6x + 2x2 = 24

Solving

4 + 6x + 2x2 = 24

Solving for variable 'x'.

Reorder the terms:

4 + -24 + 6x + 2x2 = 24 + -24

Combine like terms: 4 + -24 = -20

-20 + 6x + 2x2 = 24 + -24

Combine like terms: 24 + -24 = 0

-20 + 6x + 2x2 = 0

Factor out the Greatest Common Factor (GCF), '2'.

2(-10 + 3x + x2) = 0

Factor a trinomial.

2((-5 + -1x)(2 + -1x)) = 0

Ignore the factor 2.

Subproblem 1

Set the factor '(-5 + -1x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying

-5 + -1x = 0

Solving

-5 + -1x = 0

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '5' to each side of the equation.

-5 + 5 + -1x = 0 + 5

Combine like terms: -5 + 5 = 0

0 + -1x = 0 + 5

-1x = 0 + 5

Combine like terms: 0 + 5 = 5

-1x = 5

Divide each side by '-1'.

x = -5

Simplifying

x = -5
