What is an equation of the line that passes through the points (-4, -2) and (8, 1)? Put your answer in fully reduced form.
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

y=1/4x-1

Step-by-step explanation:

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m=(1-(-2))/(8-(-4))

m=(1+2)/(8+4)

m=3/12

m=1/4

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y-(-2)=1/4(x-(-4))

y+2=1/4(x+4)

y=1/4x+4/4-2

y=1/4x+1-2

y=1/4x-1

A car travels at the rate of x miles per hour for y minutes. which of the following gives the number of miles the car has travel
harkovskaia [24]

Given that speed of car = x miles per hour

Time of travel = y minutes = y/60 hours

(Because there are 60 minutes in an hour)

We have to calculate distance travelled so we will use formula

Distance = speed * time

Distance = x * y/60

Distance = xy/60

Hence choice d) xy/60 is the final answer.
