Writing a linear equation
quick
check
use the work shown below to write the equation for a line wha
that passes through the points (-5,0) and (-1, -8).
1. use slope formula to find slope:
o!
-8-0 -8
m=-1 - (-5) = 45
8 = -2
.
what is the answer

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the slope of the line that passes through the points (-5,0) and (-1, -8).  Notice how x increases 4 units from -5 to -1 and y decreases 8 units.

Thus, the slope of this line is m = rise / run = -8/4, or m = -2.

Another way to look at this:

       change in y      - 8 - 0

m = = = -2

        change in x       -1 - (-5)

Please note:   m=-1 - (-5) = 45

8 = -2 is not correct; 8 cannot equal -2.

d. $180

step-by-step explanation:

if the dimensions of the room is 9ft by 12 ft, we have the area of the floor as,

so the area of the floor is 108 square feet, converting that into square yards we get,

the cost of carpet is $15 per square yard, therefore the cost of carpet for 12 square yards is,

hence, the cost of carpet is $180.

assuming the dimensions of the room be,

15 ft by 12 ft

so, the area of the floor of that room is,

we can convert 180 square feet into square yards, we know that,

1 sq ft = 0.111 sq yard

so, 180 square feet is,

so the area of floor is 20 square yards.

now, the cost of carpet is 15 dollars per square yard, therefore the cost of carpet for 20 square yards is,

so, it will cost $300.
