What is an equation of the line that passes through the points (-4, 2) and
(-8,3)?

y = --0.25x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the equation of a line, you must first find the slope of the line.

The equation to find slope is  .

Plug in the given points:

(x2, y2) = (-8,3)

(x1, y1) = (-4,2)

(y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) = (3-1)/ (-8 - -4) = (3-2) / (-8 + 4) = 1/-4 = -0.25

Next, you solve for the y-intercept using one of the two coordinates:

y = -0.25x + b

2 = -0.25(-4) + b

2 = 1 + b

b = 2 - 1 = 1

y = -0.25x + 1

a; x = 0.5

step-by-step explanation:

-10x = -5

x = 0.5

b: |12 – x| ≤ 0.25

step-by-step explanation:      

let x be the possible lengths in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.

we have been given that jaime is cutting strips of ribbon for a project. he tries to cut each piece to be 12 inches long, but sometimes he cuts it too long or too short by as much as 0.25 inch.  

we can represent this information in an inequality as:

by the definition of absolute value function we will get,

upon combining our inequalities we will get,

therefore, the inequality   describes all the possible lengths (x), in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.
