Using the y=mx+b format,
m the slope = (5--9)/(8--12) = 14/20 = 7/10=0.7

y-y1 = m(x-x1)
y-5 = .7(x-8) = .7x-5.6
y = .7x +0.6
10y = 7x + 6
so 7x - 1y = -6 any your equation is almost correct.

(8,5)(-12,-9)
slope = (-9-5) / (-12 - 8) = -14/-20 = 7/10

y = mx + b
slope(m) = 7/10
(8,5)..x = 8 and y = 5
now we sub and find b, the y int
5 = 7/10(8) + b
5 = 56/10 + b
5 - 56/10 = b
50/10 - 56/10 = b
-3/5 = b

equation is : y = 7/10x - 3/5...but we need it in standard form

y = 7/10x - 3/5
-7/10x + y = -3/5
7x - 10y = 6

no, 7x - 10y = 3 is not a good model....because neither of ur points, when subbed in, will make this equation true

There are 32 female performers in a dance recital the ratio of men to women is 3/8 How many men are in the dance recital

But we have 32 female performers in the dance recital. Hence there are 3×4=12 men in the dance recital.

A geologist visits 40 volcanoes in Alaska and California. 15% of the volcanoes are in California.
kotegsom [21]

Answer:

<h2>Most explained:</h2>

40% = 100%

15 = (100% - 15% = 85%) 85% in Alaska

California = 15% of 40 = (0.15 x 40) = 6

Alaska = 85% of 40 = (0.85 x 40) = 34

<h2>The simple way (or the way i found it simple):</h2>

<h3>40 - 15 = 34</h3><h3>15% of 40 = 6</h3>

<h3>(I found the simple way after i solve the first way)</h3>

Bye, i hope this helps.
