Answer:
a. y = -1/2x - 2
Step-by-step explanation:
The correct answer choice can be determined by finding the slope of the line. The slope is the ratio of rise to run.
__
<h3>slope</h3>
The x-intercept is 4 units left of the y-axis. As the line "runs" those 4 units, it "rises" -2 units to intercept the y-axis at -2. The slope of the line is ...
m = rise/run = -2/4 = -1/2
In the slope-intercept form of the equation of a line, the slope is the coefficient of x. This information is sufficient to let us choose the first answer choice.
__
<h3>equation</h3>
The slope-intercept equation is ...
y = mx +b . . . . . . . slope m, y-intercept b
We know the slope is -1/2, and the y-intercept is where x=0, at y=-2. Then the equation is ...
y = -1/2x -2 . . . . . matches choice A

<em>Additional comment</em>
When answering multiple-choice questions, you only need to do enough work to tell which answers are <em>not</em> viable.
When we plot the points, we see that the line has negative slope. (eliminates choice C). The slope is shallow, rather than steep (the x-intercept is farther from the origin than the y-intercept), so the magnitude of the slope is less than 1 and choices B and D are eliminated.

Hi try
0.067
Explanation
6.7% = 0.067 in decimal form. Percent means 'per 100'. So, 6.7% means 6.7 per 100 or simply 6.7/100. If you divide 6.7 by 100, you'll get 0.067
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a power to a power problem. -3 times 2 equals-6. Usually when a number is raised to a negative power, the number is the denominator over 1...with the exponent in the denominator ad well. 5 to the -6 power is 15,605 which is the same as 1/5 to the 6th power....1/15,605
