Answer:
.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given that 4 days I have 140 copies of a book, 9 days I only have 50 left. We are asked to write an equation
, where c is number of copies still on hand and t days being available.
We have two points on line (4,140) and (9,50). Now, we will use these points to find slope as:



Now, we will use point-slope form of equation
and substitute
and coordinates of point (9,50) as:




Therefore, our required equation would be
.
M(x, y) = ((x1 + x2)/2, (y1 + y2)/2) = ((-2 + 4)/2, (5 - 9)/2) = (2/2, -4/2) = (1, -2)
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
It's already in a form that only ha positive exponents. Just to state it though you could rewrite it as
or
The question asks for positive exponents though so yu don't need to do that.
You also need to know
so in this case 
so
