What is the value of y if the line through the two given points is to have the indicated slope (4,y) and (2,6), M=-4?

y= -2

Step-by-step explanation:

y2-y1      6-y =  8

x2-x1       2-4= -2

To solve for y : Your answer has to be 8 then you divide 8/-2 = -4

6-y=8

subtract 6 from both sides   = -y =2

multiply each side by(-1)

to remove the - from Y         (-1)y =(-1)2

                                                   y =-2

number one is the correct answer

step-by-step explanation: dogs and cats are mentioned, no other animals

answer: the price of one pound cabbage = $ 0.8

the point (10,8) represents that the cost of 10 pounds cabbage is $ 8

step-by-step explanation:

since, here is a proportional relation between the number of pounds of cabbage (x) and the price in dollars (y).

therefore, we can write,

⇒ y = k x

where k is the constant of proportionality.

now, point (5,4) is in the line.

thus, it will satisfies the above equation of line.

⇒ 4 = 5 k

⇒ k = 0.8

thus, the equation of the line is,

y = 0.8 x

a) for x = 1,

y = 0.8

therefore, the cost of one pound of cabbage is 0.8 dollars.

b) in the below graph (10,8) represents that the cost of 10 pounds of cabbage is 8 dollars.
