Answer:

y = -0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay, slope intercept form (remember this) is y = mx+b or y = mx-b.

m is the slope, so we put -0.5 there.

The origin is the very center of the graph. Where the x and y-axis meets. Think of the x-axis and y-axis as two number lines, one vertical and one horizontal. In coordinates, the origin is (0,0) because it is the center of the graph, and 0 is the center of a number line and we have 2 number lines. So, 2 zeros.

Slope is the steepness of a line. Think of it as an uphill road (positive slope) or a downhill mountain (negative slope.)

A y-intercept is where the line FIRST meets the y-axis (vertical axis).

We don't need to write y = -0.5x + 0 or y = -0.5x - 0. Adding and subtracting zero is the same thing. We don't need to do it at all.

<h2>Answer:</h2>

y = \frac{-5}{4}x + 3

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

As shown in the graph, the line is a straight line. Therefore, the general equation of a straight line can be employed to derive the equation of the line.

The general equation of a straight line is given by:

y = mx + c <em>or            </em>-------------(i)

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)        -----------------(ii)

Where;

y₁ is the value of a point on the y-axis

x₁ is the value of the same point on the x-axis

m is the slope of the line

c is the y-intercept of the line.

Equation (i) is the slope-intercept form of a line

Steps:

(i) Pick any two points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) on the line.

In this case, let;

(x₁, y₁) = (0, 3)

(x₂, y₂) = (4, -2)

(ii) With the chosen points, calculate the slope <em>m</em> given by;

m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2-x_1}

m = \frac{-2-3}{4-0}

m = \frac{-5}{4}

(iii) Substitute the first point (x₁, y₁) = (0, 3) and m = \frac{-5}{4} into equation (ii) as follows;

y - 3 = \frac{-5}{4}(x - 0)

(iv) Solve for y from (iii)

y - 3 = \frac{-5}{4}x

y = \frac{-5}{4}x + 3 [This is the slope intercept form of the line]

Where the slope is \frac{-5}{4} and the intercept is 3

Simplify the expression completely.<br><br> 16x-12x
romanna [79]
These are like terms, meaning that they are completely the same disregarding the coefficient.

To combine like terms, add the coefficients.
16+(-12)=4

Final answer: 4x

Find two consecutive numbers with a product of 121
Crank
One number: x
Its consecutive:  x + 1

Product:

x(x+1)=121
x² + x - 121 = 0

Δ = 1² - 4.1.(-121)
Δ = 1+484
Δ = 485

As square root of 485 is not integer, do not exist two consecutive numbers with product of 121
