Answer:

$y+1=-2(x-5)$

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write the equation of a line in 3 different forms including slope intercept, point-slope, and standard depending on the information we have. We have a point given and a slope from the equation. We will chose point-slope since we have a point and the slope.

We will substitute $m=-2$ and $x_1=5\\y_1=-1$ .

$y-(-1)=-2 (x-5)$

$y+1=-2(x-5)$

This is the equation of the line with slope -2 that passes through (5,-1).

Answer:

There will be 213 songs in each group.

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose, the number of songs in each group is $x$

As he has 4 different groups of songs, so the t<u>otal number of songs in all 4 groups</u> will be: $(4*x)= 4x$

Given that, the mp3 player has a <u>total of 852 songs</u>. So, the equation will be........

$4x=852\\ \\ x=\frac{852}{4}=213$

So, there will be 213 songs in each group.

That is correct, however, you need to keep in mind that each bacteria created will multiply the same way the original does, so you have exponential growth
