Answer:

y = (-2/5)x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

One way to attack this problem is to interchange the coefficients of x and y and change the sign of one to +:  5x - 2y = -6 becomes 2x + 5y = c.  Solving for the slope, m, we get 5y = -2x + c first, and then y = (-2/5)x + D.

Subbing 5 for x and -4 for y, we now have -4 = (-2/5)(5) + D.

Then -4 = -2 + D, so that D = -2.

The desired equation is thus y = (-2/5)x - 2.

Check:  Does this pass through (5, -4)?  Is -4 = (-2/5)(5) - 2 true?  Yes.

Is the slope -2/5 the negative reciprocal of 5/2?  Yes, it is.

sladkih [1.3K]
Answer:
volume of box = 312.375 in²

Explanation:
The volume of a rectangular box can be measured as follows:
volume = length* width * height

From the givens we have:
length = 8.5 in
width = 5.25 in
height = 7 in

Substitute with the givens in the above equation to get the volume as follows:
volume = length * width * height
volume = 8.5 * 5.25 * 7
volume = 312.375 in²

Hope this helps :)

Tom is 4 times as old as Todd. In 7 years Tom's age will be 11years more than 2times as old as Todd. How old is Todd?
shusha [124]
Todd is 2 years old.

2 times 4 = 8.
8 + 7 = 15.
15 - 11 = 4.
4 divided by 2 = 2.

Todd is 2 years old.
