Answer:
elasticity supply of dog food = 2.61
elasticity supply of cat food = 1.71
Step-by-step explanation:
The midpoint formula for elasticity is:
![Elasticity = \frac{(Q2-Q1)/[(Q2+Q1)/2]}{(P2-P1)/[(P2+P1)/2]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Elasticity%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B%28Q2-Q1%29%2F%5B%28Q2%2BQ1%29%2F2%5D%7D%7B%28P2-P1%29%2F%5B%28P2%2BP1%29%2F2%5D%7D)
Point 1: Q = 39.0 and P = 5.50
Point 2: Q = 101.0 and P = 7.75
![Elasticity\ supply\ of\ dog\ food = \frac{(101.0-39.0)/[101.0+39.0)/2]}{(7.75-5.50)/[(7.75+5.50)/2]}=2.61](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Elasticity%5C%20supply%5C%20of%5C%20dog%5C%20food%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B%28101.0-39.0%29%2F%5B101.0%2B39.0%29%2F2%5D%7D%7B%287.75-5.50%29%2F%5B%287.75%2B5.50%29%2F2%5D%7D%3D2.61)
Doing the same for the cat food:
![Elasticity\ supply\ of\ cat\ food = \frac{(71.0-39.0)/[71.0+39.0)/2]}{(7.75-5.50)/[(7.75+5.50)/2]}=1.71](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Elasticity%5C%20supply%5C%20of%5C%20cat%5C%20food%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B%2871.0-39.0%29%2F%5B71.0%2B39.0%29%2F2%5D%7D%7B%287.75-5.50%29%2F%5B%287.75%2B5.50%29%2F2%5D%7D%3D1.71)
The answer would be better D.

Step-by-step explanation:

(-2,5)(9,-6)
slope(m) = (-6-5) / (9 - (-2) = -11/11 = -1
y = mx + b
slope(m) = -1
(-2,5)...x = -2 and y = 5
now we sub and solve for b, the y int
5 = -1(-2) + b
5 = 2 + b
5 - 2 = b
3 = b
so ur equation in slope intercept form is : y = -x + 3
