Answer is choice B) y = 1/2x - 2

which is the same as y = (1/2)x - 2 or can be written as $y = \frac{1}{2}x - 2$

If you wanted the decimal form version, then the equation would be y = 0.5x - 2
------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------

Explanation:

The four points on this line are
(4,0)
(6,1)
(8,2)
(10,3)

Let's pick two of these points to find the slope.

The two points I'll pick are (4,0) and (6,1)

The first point is (4,0) so (x1,y1) = (4,0) meaning that
x1 = 4
y1 = 0

The second point is (6,1) so (x2,y2) = (6,1) meaning that
x2 = 6
y2 = 1

Using the slope formula, we find...
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
m = (1-0)/(6-4)
m = 1/2
m = 0.5

The slope in fraction form is 1/2. This means that each time we move up 1 unit, we move to the right 2 units.
slope = rise/run = 1/2
Rise = 1
Run = 2

The fraction 1/2 is equivalent to the decimal form 0.5

------------------------------------------

Let's use the slope m = 0.5, along with the point (x,y) = (4,0) to find the y intercept b

y = m*x + b
y = 0.5*x + b
0 = 0.5*4 + b
0 = 2 + b
0 - 2 = 2 + b - 2
-2 = b
b = -2
The y intercept is -2 meaning that the line crosses the vertical y axis at -2.

Therefore the equation is y = 0.5x - 2 after we update y = mx+b

This is the same as y = (1/2)x - 2 or y = 1/2x - 2 which is why choice B is the answer. The parenthesis help make it clear that x is not in the denominator; though technically they aren't needed.

Answer from: Quest

the simplified form is

$\frac{x^2(2x+3)}{2(4x-3)}$

step-by-step explanation:

we want to simplify the expression,

$\frac{\frac{6x+9}{15x^2} }{\frac{16x-12}{10x^4} }$

let us change the middle bar to a normal division sign to obtain,

$\frac{6x+9}{15x^2}\div\frac{16x-12}{10x^4}$

we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction to obtain,

$\frac{6x+9}{15x^2}\times \frac{10x^4}{16x-12}$

we factor to obtain,

$\frac{3(2x+3)}{3\times5\times x^2}\times \frac{2\times5\times x^2\times x^2}{4(4x-3)}$

we cancel the common factors to get,

$\frac{(2x+3)}{1}\times \frac{ x^2}{2(4x-3)}$

we simplify to get,

$\frac{x^2(2x+3)}{2(4x-3)}$

the correct answer is b

Answer from: Quest

c: y > - 1/6x + 1

step-by-step explanation:

dashed line - meaning this < or > also not equal

solid line - meaning this < or > also equal

your answer is c because y > means up & it's shaded up, but y < means down

hope this ! : )
