Answer:

In slope intercept form:

y= .2x -1

Step-by-step explanation:

You can find the slope by using the formula (y2-y1)/(x2-x1).

Then you get: (-2-2)/(-5-15) = -4/-20 = .2

.2 is your slope(m).

Plug this information into point slope form: y-y1 = m(x-x1)

y-2 = .2(x - 15)

Distribute the .2.

y-2 = .2x - 3

Rearrange the formula to isolate y.

y = .2x -1

Can someone help with that?<br><br>if x+y=2, calculate: <br>P=4x (x-3)+4y(y-3)+8xy

olganol [36]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

P = 4x(x - 3) + 4y(y - 3) + 8xy

= 4x² - 12x + 4y² - 12y + 8xy

= (4x² + 8xy + 4y²) - (12x + 12y)

= 4(x² + 2xy + y²) - 12(x + y)

= 4(x + y)² - 12(x + y)

x+y =2 ⇒ P = 4.2² - 12.2 = 16 - 24 = -8

2x + 12 = 1/3 (7/3x+4/3)

gladu [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 12 = 1/3 (7/3x+4/3)

$2x+12=\frac{1}{3}*\frac{7x}{3}+\frac{1}{3}*\frac{4}{3}\\\\2x+12=\frac{7x}{9}+\frac{4}{9}\\\\2x-\frac{7x}{9}=\frac{4}{9}-12\\\\\frac{2x*9}{1*9}-\frac{7x}{9}=\frac{4}{9}-\frac{12*9}{1*9}\\\\\frac{18x}{9}-\frac{7x}{9}=\frac{4}{9}-\frac{108}{9}\\\\\frac{18x-7x}{9}=\frac{4-108}{9}\\\\\frac{11x}{9}=\frac{-104}{9}\\\\\\x=\frac{-104*9}{11*9}=\frac{-104}{11}=-9\frac{5}{11}$
