Answer:
Y = -5x + 29
Step-by-step explanation:
The first step is finding the slope:
y2 - y1 / x2 - x1
-1 - 4 = -5
6 - 5 = 1
-5/1 = -5
Now to point slope form ( y - y1 = m (x - x1)
Let's use the point 5, 4.
y - 4 = -5 (x - 5)
Time to simplify to slope intercept form ( y = mx + b)!
1. distribute
y - 4 = -5x + 25
2. Add 4 to both sides, making y alone.
Y = -5x + 29
The answer is 62.7............................!
You don't say what you are measuring.
Generally, questions like this do include that info.
Example: What is the unit rate of (1/5) white per (1/4 yellow)?
To determine this, divide (1/5) white) by (1/4 yellow)
1 white
-----------
5
------------------ = 0.20/0.25 white per yellow, or 0.8 white per yellow.
1 yellow
-----------
4
