Let F be the father's age, let S be the son's age
when: F = 60,
S = F/2 = 60/2 = 30

this means S = F-30

this means:
F/4 = F -30
F = 4F - 120
-3F = -120
F = 40

If the boy was 4 times less his father's age,
at this instance:
S = 40/4 = 10

therefore the son was 10 years old, the father was 40

Let f be the fathers age and let s be the sons age

f = 60 s = 30
when f = 45
s = 15 which is only a third if his fathers age

when f = 40
s = 10 which is a quarter of his fathers age

therefore when his father was 4 times his age, the son was 10

Can someone please help me with math
vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey There!

they are asking for the equation in slope intercept form

Slope intercept form is y=mx+b

where m equals slope and b equals y intercept

to find the slope we do change in y over chang in x

as y goes up 2 x goes down 5 so the slope would be -2/5

the y intercept is at (0,4) so the y intercept is 4

now we add everything together and get that the equation in slope intercept form is

y=-2/5x+4

so we can conclude that the answer is B
