$(\stackrel{x_1}{-6}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-9})\hspace{10em} \stackrel{slope}{m} ~=~ \cfrac{5}{2} \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{(-9)}=\stackrel{m}{\cfrac{5}{2}}(x-\stackrel{x_1}{(-6)})\implies y+9=\cfrac{5}{2}(x+6) \\\\\\ y+9=\cfrac{5}{2}x+15\implies y=\cfrac{5}{2}x+6$

Answer:

y = 5/2x +6

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of the equation of a line is ...

y = mx +b . . . . line with slope m and y-intercept b

The above equation can be solved for b to give ...

b = y -mx

Using the given values m = 5/2 and (x, y) = (-6, -9), we find b to be ...

b = -9 -(5/2)(-6) = -9 +15 = +6

Then the slope-intercept equation is ...

y = 5/2x +6

Answer: 7bb +19 ll ≥210

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to write an inequality:

The product of the number of hours he works babysitting (bb) and the amount he earns per hour (7); plus The product of the number of hours he works lifeguarding (ll) and the amount he earns per hour 19; must be higher or equal to the amount he must earn this week (210)

Mathematically speaking:

7 bb + 19 ll ≥210
