Answer: y=-1/5x+4

Step-by-step explanation: use the equation y=mx+b (x,y)->(5,3) 5 is an x value and 3 is a y value so you want to plug in these values into the equation. 3=-1/5(5)+b. We already know our slope so just plug it into m. Now multiply -1/5 and 5 which is -1. 3=-1+b you want to isolate b so you can find the intercept. Add one to both sides so it cancels out. 4=b we found our y-intercept so we can write the equation now. y=-1/5x+4

250 and - 1250

This is a geometric sequence with common ratio r = - 5

multiply each term by - 5 to obtain the next term

- 50 × - 5 = 250

250 × - 5 = - 1250

the sequence is - 2, 10, - 50, 250, - 1250

What number is 25% of 180

TiliK225 [7]

'what number' indicates an unknown value we can represent with 'x'

'is' indicates an equal sign.

25% = 0.25

'of' indicates multiplication.

x = 0.25 * 180

x = 45
