Is (1,-4) a solution to y=-4x?

Asmall (but heavy) particle placed in a glass of water will follow a zigzag motion because the particle will bounce off of the water molecules it meets. this is called brownian motion. a physicist simulates this on a computer, by varying the distance a particle can travel (called the mean free length), on average, before it collides with a water molecule and assigning the change in motion to be one of 8 directions, each with a similar probability. by running the simulated particle (with the same mean free length) many times she determines that it should take 15 seconds, on average, for the particle to fall to the bottom, with a standard deviation of 1.5 seconds. next she lets a real particle fall through a glass of water and finds that it took 18 seconds. what does she conclude, and why?

I’m stuck on this equation, anyone got the answer?

:i need some real : a store sells shirts to the public at one pricing scale and wholesale at another pricing scale. the tables below describe the cost, y, of x shirts. (after tables) how do the slopes of the lines created by each table compare? the slope of the public table is 3/4 of the slope of the wholesale table. the slope of the wholesale table is 3/4 of the slope of the public table. the slope of the public table is 12 times greater than the slope of the wholesale table. the slope of the wholesale table is 12 times greater than the slope of the public table.
