Write an equation in slope-intercept form of the line that passes through the given points. 0,4 4,2

First, find the slope: m = Δy/Δx = (2-4)/(4-0) = -0.5

The "intercept" in the slope-intercept form of a line is the y-intercept. And at the y-intercept, x = 0. Conveniently, one of our points has an x = 0, i.e., the point (0,4). So, our equation would be y = -0.5x + 4.

If you wanted to double-check, you could use the point (4,2) to find the point-slope equation of the line and see if it matches up with the slope-intercept form above. Given a slope of -0.5 and a point (4,2), our point-slope equation would be y - 2 = -0.5(x - 4). If we expand this, we get y - 2 = -0.5x + 2. Solving for y, we obtain y = -0.5x + 4.

Thus, y = -0.5x + 4 would be our equation.

let x be the money she spent so that she can earn the free t-shirt.

since, she already spent $112.49

⇒

also, as per the statement: jennifer must spend $250 or more in order to qualify for a free t-shirt at the store.

then,

we have an inequality i.,e

subtract 112.49 from both sides we get;

therefore, $137. 51 more money does jennifer need to spend so that she can earn the free t-shirt
