Answer:

y=-2x+2

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

Slope-intercept form: y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept (the value of y when the line crosses the y-axis)

<u>1) Determine the slope</u>

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} where the two given points are (x_1,y_1) and (x_2,y_2)

Plug in the given points (-1, 4) and (0, 2)

=\frac{2-4}{0-(-1)}\\=\frac{-2}{0+1}\\=\frac{-2}{1}\\= -2

Therefore, the slope of the line is -2. Plug this into y=mx+b:

y=-2x+b

<u>2) Determine the y-intercept</u>

y=-2x+b

Recall that the y-intercept is the value of y when the line crosses the y-axis, meaning that the y-intercept occurs when x is equal to 0.

One of the given points is (0,2). Notice how y=2 when x=0. Therefore, the y-intercept of the line is 2.

Plug this back into the equation:

y=-2x+2

I hope this helps!

The instructions on the bag on concrete mix say to add 2 gallons of water to each 8 pounds bag of conceit mix
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

4 pound

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question :

2 gallons of water = 8 pound bag

Number of pound bag per gallon of water ;

Let the number of pound = x

Using cross multiplication, we'll have :

2 gallons = 8 pounds

1 gallon = x pounds

Cross multiply

2x = 8

x = 8 /2

x = 4

Hence, 1 gallon of water mixes 4 pound bag of concrete.

PLZ HELP !!!!!!!!!!!! Square roots ​
Vilka [71]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

\sqrt{50} \  is  \ between \  \sqrt{49} \ and \  \sqrt{64}.

50 is little away from 49 and 50 is far away from 64.

\sqrt{49} = \sqrt{7*7}=7 \ and \ \sqrt{64}=8

As 50 is closer to 49 the square root of 50 will be closer to 7 than 8 and so it should be just a little over 7

√50 ≈ 7.1
