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.

What is 5/6 divided by 1/7?
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

5\frac{5}{6}

Step-by-step explanation:

To divide fractions, we multiply the first fraction by the <u>reciprocal </u>of the second fraction. (Seven over one)

\frac{5*7}{6*1} =\frac{35}{6}

Now, we convert the fraction into a mixed fraction.

\frac{35}{6}=5\frac{5}{6}

<em>The quotient of 5/6 and 1/7 is 5 5/6</em>

Kamila [148]
All you have to do is put the walking amount in for w and basketball in for b. Do it for all of these, if it is less than 400 or greater than 600, it is not a solution.

(4 x 40) + (5 x 40) = 360 so reject because it is less than 400.

I'll let you do the rest.
