Tyrone earns x dollars per hour.
Sean earns $4.50 per hour more than Tyrone, so he earns x + 4.5 dollars per hour.
In 8 hours, Tyrone earns 8x.
In 8 hours, Sean earns 8(x + 4.5).

8x + 8(x + 4.5) = 284

8x + 8x + 36 = 284

16x + 36 = 284

16x = 248

x = 15.5

Answer: Tyrone earns $15.50 per hour.

Check:
Sean earns $15.50 + $4.50 = $20 per hour.
In 8 hours, their combined salary is 8(15.5 + 20) = 8(35.5) = 284.
Our answer is correct.

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (-1, -7) and
Kay [80]

Answer:

-2

Step-by-step explanation:

slope formula= (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

(-1,-7) is (x1,y1)

(-2,-5) is (x2,y2)

Plug in numbers into slope equation

((-5)-(-7))/((-2)-(-1)) = 2/-1

Simplify

Find an equation of the line passing through the pair of points (2,3) and (5,9). Write the equation in the form Ax + By = C.
8090 [49]

Answer:

- 2x +  y  = - 1 , so the B is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

+ Because of "the line passing through the pair of points (2,3) and (5,9)", that means the line has the equation y = ax + b where a = (9-3)/(5-2)= 6/3= 2

+ So the equation is y = 2x + b.

+ Then we replace x= 2 and y= 3 into y = 2x + b for finding  like:

3 = 2*2 + b or 3 = 4 + b, so we find b = 3 - 4 = - 1.

+ The equation of this line is y = 2x - 1 or in the form:

                                  2x - y - 1 = 0 (or -2x + y = -1)

Have a good day!
