Answer:

y = -1/2x + 5

It will take 10 weeks for the cat to lose 5 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Find slope</u>

Take 2 points (2,4) (6,2)

  • y2 - y1/x2 - x1
  • 2 - 4/6 - 2

slope = -1/2

<u>y-intercept</u>

(0,5)

<u>y = mx + b form</u>

m represents slope

b represents y-intercept

y = -1/2x + 5

<u>Find the number of weeks it will the cat to lose 5 pounds</u>

Set y = to 0, to find when the cat loses weight

0 = -1/2x + 5

<u>Subtract 5 in both sides</u>

-5 = -1/2x

<u>Isolate the variable by getting rid of the denominator</u>

-1/2x * 2 = -x

2 * - 5 = -10

<u>Simplify</u>

-x = -10

<u>Divide both sides by -1</u>

-x/-1 = x

-10/-1 = 10

<u>Simplify </u>

x = 10

<u>Answer</u>

Answer:

y = -1/2 x +5

10 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

The y intercept is 5  ( That is is the point where x=0)

Our slope is rise over run  or 1 lb /2 weeks

We know this is negative because the cat is losing the weight

slope = -1/2

The equation in slope intercept form is

y= mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

y = -1/2 x +5

We need to determine when y=0 to find when the cat loses all 5 lbs

0 = -1/2 x +5

Subtract 5 from each side

0-5 = -1/2x +5-5

-5 = -1/2x

Multiply each side by -2 to get x alone

-5 *-2 = -1/2x * -2

10 = x

It will take 10 weeks

Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

9/25

Step-by-step explanation:

find a number that both the top and bottom are divisible by,

23 is the greatest common division we can make such that the top and bottom remain whole numbers

so,

\frac{207 }{575} ÷23

=(207/23)÷(575/23)

=\frac{9}{25}
