Which equation has a slope of -2 and passes through the point (1, -6)? A. y = -23 – 4
B. Y = -22 that
c. y = –2x – 8
D. Y = -2x + 8

C. y= -2x-8 is the answer

y = -2x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx + b(we substitute the "x" and "y" points into this general formula)

-6 = -2 (1) + b ( multiply "-2" by "1" and obtain the answer itself "-2")

(+ 2) -6 = -2 + b (+ 2)( then we add "2" on both side so the right side will be left with only "b". and "-6 + 2 = -4")

-4 = b( we substitute this answer in the general formula we've written )

y= -2x -4

a.

step-by-step explanation:

step 1 distribute 2 to every term in the parentheses

step 2 add 10 on both sides of the equal sign

- "runner b is moving at a slower rate."

- "the graphs shown are graphs of distance(km) against time(min).

the slopes of this graphs are are given by:

slope = (change in y)/(change in x)

= (change in distance)/(change in time)

this is the formula for finding the speed. so, the slope of these graphs represent the speed of the runner.

taking each division in the graph to represent 1 on both axis:

runner a ⇒ speed = (2-0)/(1-0)

= 2/1

= 2 km/min

runner b ⇒ speed = (3-0)/(3-0)

= 3/3

= 1 km/min

this shows that   runner b is moving at a slower rate."
