An emergency room (ER) nurse noticed that there are an unusually high number of motor-vehicle accident injuries in the month of December. She pulled 1000 random ER patient files from December and found that 120 of those patients were admitted due to motor-vehicle injuries. Based on this information, the nurse can estimate that _[blank]_ patients of the total 40,000 ER patients seen in December were admitted due to motor-vehicle injuries. Enter your answer as the number that correctly fills in the blank in the previous paragraph, like this: 42

42 is the example they give u

step-by-step explanation:

i think something is missing in your question because y-1=(x-12) would not pass through the point (-4,-3). because if you replace x by -4 your are supposed to find y=-3 which is not the case her. if you replace x by -4 you find =-15.

i assume the right equation is y-1=1/4*(x-12) because this one is passing through both your points (if you are interested to know how i found that out i can tell you).

in this equation if i replace x by -4 i find y=-3 and if i replace x by 12, i find y=1 so the line representing this equation is passing through those 2 points.

then the standard form of the equation is finding an expression of y in function of x

y-1=1/4*(x-12)

y=x/4-3+1

y=x/4-2

hope that .

do you confirm there was a mistake in the question?
