Answer:
y = -4x +2
Step-by-step explanation:
As x-values increase by 1, y-values decrease by 4. The slope of the line is ...
... m = (change in y)/(change in x) = -4/1 = -4
We can use the first (x, y) pair as a point to use in the point-slope form of the equation of a line. That form can be written, for slope m and point (h, k) ...
... y = m(x -h) +k
using m = -4 and (h, k) = (1, -2), we can fill in the numbers to get ...
... y = -4(x -1) -2
... y = -4x +4 -2 . . . . eliminate parentheses
... y = -4x +2 . . . . . . slope-intercept form

<em>Alternate approach</em>
After you recognize that a change in x of 1 gives a change in y of -4, you can work backward one step to find the table value for y corresponding to x=0. That will be -2+4 = +2. Now, you know both the slope (-4) and the y-intercept (+2), so you can write the equation directly from this knowledge:
... y = -4x +2
Answer:
When squaring a number it is essentially taking a number and multiplying it by itself. For example, 5^2 is 5×5 (=25).
X = 66 or 180 - 114, which = 66
Answer:
Answer: There are 21 eggs left.
Step-by-step explanation:
One carton has 12 eggs.
2 cartons are two times one carton, so two cartons have 2 times 12 eggs.
2 * 12 = 24
There are 24 eggs in two cartons.
Margot uses 3 eggs. We subtract 3 eggs from 24 eggs.
24 - 3 = 21
Answer: There are 21 eggs left.
