What is the equation of a line passing through (-3,7) and having a slope of -1/5?

We'll use the slope-intercept form y = mx + b. Where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

We know the slope, -1/5. Now the equation looks like y = (-1/5)m + b

To find the y-intercept, plug in the ordered pair that the question gave us into our equation and solve for b.

7 = (-1/5)(-3) + b
7 = 0.6 + b
6.4 = b
b = 6 2/5

So, the y-intercept will be at 6 2/5.

$\frac{3}{5} t = 6$

$t = 6 \div \frac{3}{5}$

$t = 6 \times \frac{5}{3}$

$t = 2 \times 5$

$t = 10$

____________________________

$\frac{1}{4} a = \frac{14}{15}$

$a = \frac{14}{15} \div \frac{1}{4}$

$a = \frac{14}{15} \times 4$

$a = \frac{56}{15}$

Use the list below to find the upper quartile. 27, 5, 11, 13, 10, 8, 14, 18, 7

Find the median first. The middle of all the numbers.

5, 7, 8, 10, 11, 13, 14, 18, 27

11 is the median.

Then find the median of the upper quartile.

The upper quartile consists of numbers...

5, 7, 8, 10

Since it is an even set of numbers add the two in the middle and divided by two. So 7 plus 8= 15/2.

7.5 is your upper quartile.
