Couple things to note:
- Slope-intercept form is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
- Slope can be calculated using any two points on a line and the formula y₁ - y₂ / x₁ - x₂.
For the first problem, we know the slope of Function A is 6 (refer to slope-intercept form above). To compare the slopes of Function A and Function B, first find the slope of Function B.
Use y₁ - y₂ / x₁ - x₂. Two points on the line are (0, 1) and (-1, -2). Plug these into the formula accordingly and solve for slope.
y₁ - y₂ / x₁ - x₂
1 - (-2) / 0 - (-1)
1 + 2 / 0 + 1
3 / 1
3
The slope of Function B is 3. This is half of 6 (the slope of Function A), so the correct answer to question 1 is the first option: Slope of Function B = 2 × Slope of Function A.
For the second problem, substitute m and b in y = mx + b according to the graph. b is the y-intercept (the point at which the line intersects the y-axis); it is (0, -4), or -4. This gives us
y = mx - 4
We must now find m. Follow the same steps above to find slope. Our two points are (-2, 0) and (0, -4).
y₁ - y₂ / x₁ - x₂
0 - (-4) / -2 - 0
0 + 4 / -2
4 / -2
-2
Substitute.
y = -2x - 4
The first option is the correct answer.

Answer: (0,0),(0,4), and (5,0)
Step-by-step explanation:
It is easy to find lengths of horizontal and vertical segments and distances from (0,0) so always place one vertex at the origin and one or more sides on an axis.
This answer has an x intercept and y intercept.

Answer:Jake's total cost is $22.05
Step-by-step explanation:
The initial price of the sweater is $30. The store is having a sell that will reduce the price by 30%. This means that there is a reduction in the original amount of the sweater by 30% which is expressed as
30/100 × 30 = $9
The new price of the sweater would be 30 - 9 = $21
Since a sales tax of 5% will be added to the final purchase price, the value of the tax would be
5/100 × 21 = 0.05×21 = $1.05
Jake's total cost would be
21 + 1.05 = $22.05
