We can form a ratio equation. the ratio would be the amount of original apples to the cost versus the new amount of apples and new cost. we know all amounts except original cost.

pounds/cost = new pounds/new cost

9/x = (3/4)9 / 15

9/x = (27/4) / 15

9/x = 27/60

9/x = 9/20

cross multiply

9x = 180
x = 20

A line has a slope of -5 and passes through (1,-1).which is the equation of the line in point - slope form?
tangare [24]
The equation of a line which has the slope m and passes through the point A(x1,y1) has the formula:
y-y1=m(x-x1)
in your case m= -5 ; A(x1;y1)=(1;-1)
y-(-1)= -5(x-1)

Please I need like an explanation of how it was done.
a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

  the point is (3, 3) . . . . . . y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Write the point-slope equation of the line through the point you know. Then evaluate that equation for x=3 to see what the value of y is.

Point-slope form:

  y = m(x -h) +k . . . . slope m through point (h, k)

  y = -1/2(x -9) +0 . . . . line with slope -1/2 through point (9, 0)

For x=3, the value of y is ...

  y = -1/2(3 -9) + 0 = -1/2(-6) = 3

The value of y is 3.
