An old man wanted to leave all of his money to one of his three sons, but he didn't know which one he should give it to. He gave

each of them a few coins and told them to buy something that would be able to fill their living room. The first man bought straw, but there was not enough to fill the room. The second bought some sticks, but they still did not fill the room. The third man bought two things that filled the room, so he obtained his father's fortune. What were the two things that the man bought?

Think of things that can fill an entire area. Air can fill a room, light can also fill a room.

The 3rd son bought a candle and a lighter, he lit the candle and the light from the candle filled the room.

Point slope form is:

y - y_{1} = m(x - x_{1})

With y_{1} and x_{1} being the coordinate points, and m being the slope.

So the coordinate points are (4, -5), and the slope is -6 in this case.

So just substitute everything in, to get:

y - ( -5) = -6(x - 4)

Or

y + 5 = -6 (x - 4)

Write an equation, in slope intercept form, that passes through the points (-16,8 )
krek1111 [17]

It would be: y-y1 = m(x-x1)

y-8 = m(x+16)

y-8 = mx+16m

y = mx+16m+8

you have to calculate m, which can be possible if two coordinates are given otherwise it's the final possible answer...

A father is 25 years old . Six years ago he was 5 times as old as his son. Find the present age of Father and son.​
raketka [301]

Answer:

Define F as fathers age and S as sons age right now.

Then now they are

(1) 3S = F

and six years ago they were

(2) 5*(S-6) = F-6

calculate 5*(S-6)

5S - 30 = F-6

Subtract left and right side by -F

Add 30 to left and right side

5S - F = 24

Put (2) 3S = F into the equation above

5S - 3S = 24

2S = 24

S = 12

insert result in (2) 3S = F

3*12 = F

36 = F

Step-by-step explanation:

So the son is 12 years, and the father is 36 years.
