Answer:

$189

Step-by-step explanation:

Let their total amount of spending money be x

given that $135 they spent is 5/7 of their total spending money,

mathematically:

135 = (5/7) x     (multiply both sides by 7)

135 (7) = 5x

945 = 5x

5x = 945  (divide both sides by 5)

x = 945 / 5

x = 189

Find the y intercept of -2,5 and 3,25
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

Y-intercept = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, given points are:  

(-2,5) and (3,25)

Now, by slope intercept form:

y= mx + b

Here, m= slope and b= y-intercept

In order to find y-intercept, we must find slope firstly:  

Since,

Slope= m= y2-y1 / x2-x1  

m= 25 - 5 / 3 - (-2)

m= 20 / 5  

m= 4  

Put ‘m’ in slope intercept form:

y= 4x + b  

Substitute either point into above equation:

25= 4(3) +b

25= 12 + b  

25 - 12 = b

or b= 25 - 12

b= 13

Hence, y-intercept is 13.
