Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope intercept form of any equation using two points, you first need to find the slope. You can do this using the slope formula below.

m(slope) = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

In this equation, we find the slope by putting in the values we have given the points. The first point you have would be (x1, y1). So if your first point is (3, 1), you would put 3 in for x1 and 1 in for y1. Then you do the same for the second point using (x2, y2).

After you've solved that equation and got m, you can use point-slope form. Take your first point and your newly found slope and plug the values into the following equation.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

After this, you can solve for y and that will be your slope intercept form.

Mr.Mason takes two-thirds of his body weight and drinks that amount of gatorade in ounces per day. If Mr.Mason drinks 118 ounces

denis-greek [22]

The total weight of Mason is 177

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that, Mr.Mason takes two-thirds of his body weight and drinks that amount of gatorade in ounces per day

Mr.Mason drinks 118 ounces each day

Let "x" be the total weight of Mr.Mason

Therefore, we can say,

Two third of body weight = Amount of gatorade drank in ounces per day

Two third of x = 118

$\frac{2}{3} \text{ of } = 118\\\\\frac{2}{3} \times x = 118\\\\2x = 118 \times 3\\\\2x = 354\\\\x = \frac{354}{2}\\\\x = 177$

Thus total weight of Mason is 177

Papi sold candles at the fair. She sold $169.74 on Friday, $235.95 on Saturday and $219.21 on Sunday. What were her average sale

Galina-37 [17]

To find the average you would add the three numbers together 169.74+235.95+219.21
to get a total of $624.90 divide that number by 3 to get the average which is $208.30 as the average sale per day

Answer: 640

Step-by-step explanation:

The scale factor is 20/5=4, so the ratio of the areas is the square of this, or 16.

Thus, the area of ABCD is 40(16)=640.
