We need to find m and b to find in the equation of a line:
y = mx + b
↑ <span>↑
slope y-intercept
To find m, the slope, we need to find the rise over the run of the line. You pick two points and use the y values finding the difference of them and do the same for the x values and put them on the bottom. Let's use the points (0, -2) and (4, 0):
</span>↑ ↑<span>
(x₁, y₁) (x₂, y₂)
m = (y</span>₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)
m = (-2 - 0)/(0 - 4)
m = (-2)/(-4)
m = 1/2
The slope is positive since the line is going upward from left to right.
Now we need b, the y intercept, where the line intersects with the y axis, simply by looking at the graph. b is -2.
Thus, the answer is C. y = 1/2x - 2.

Answer: a) 1,600
b) 35,000
c) 120,000
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
First, round each number to one significant digit (the first digit).
Then multiply them.
a) 17 --> rounds to 20
82 --> rounds to 80
20 x 80 = 2 x 8 with two zeros
= 1 6 0 0
b) 54 --> rounds to 50
671 --> rounds to 700
50 x 700 = 5 x 7 with three zeros
= 3 5 0 0 0
c) 207 --> rounds to 200
643 --> rounds to 600
200 x 600 = 2 x 6 with four zeros
= 1 2 0 0 0 0
The width of one campsite is 30.5 yards.
The campsite area has a 1220 square yards and a width of 5 yards.
If we divide 1220 by 5, we see that the total length of the campgrounds must be 244 yards.
Now, divide 244 by 8 and you will get that each campground is 30.5 yards wide.
(Unless, you forgot to include the distance of the campground with the given width, that would change our answer)
