(4,5),(-3,-1)
slope = (-1 - 5) / (-3 - 4) = -6/-7 = 6/7
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
slope(m) = 6/7
using points (-3,-1)...x1 = -3 and y1 = -1
now we sub...pay attention to ur signs
y - (-1) = 6/7(x - (-3) =
y + 1 = 6/7(x + 3) <===

Answer:
x = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
We can write a proportion relating the short segment to the full length:
(x+1)/18 = 4/(4+5)
x +1 = 8 . . . . . . multiply by 18 and simplify
x = 7 . . . . . . . . subtract 1

Answer: Choice B
They traveled 250 miles in 4 hours. Their speed was 62.5 mph.
=============================================================
Explanation:
Start at point X. Draw a horizontal line straight across until you reach the y axis. You should arrive at y = 250. This tells us that they traveled 250 miles.
Go back to point X. Draw a vertical line until you reach the x axis. You should reach x = 4. This indicates 4 hours.
Pairing up the two values together means they traveled 250 miles in 4 hours. Divide the distance over time to get the speed
speed = distance/time = 250/4 = 62.5 miles per hour
--------
Side note: unfortunately your teacher chose the label uppercase X for the point, which may be a bit confusing since it could clash with the lowercase x along the horizontal axis.
Another note: the speed represents the slope of the line
