Answer:

a.-4

Step-by-step explanation:

I pictured it as a graph and since the slope is negative, the line goes down and to the right. Since the slope is -1/2, for every 2 you move horizontally, you move one vertically. You have to move two up and unless the y intercept is 0, when the line intercepts y, you have 0 as x. You move two up and 4 backwards so the x intercept is -4

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2 in = 5 miles

So you would do 85/5 to figure out how many times you have to multiply 5 to get to 85.

85/5= 17

So then you would multiply 17 by 1/2 to get the answer 8.5. So that would b 8.5 inches
