The point-slope form of the equation of a line is

y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)

where

(x_1, y_1)

is a point on the line, and

m

is the slope of the line.

We can use either one of the two given points as the point on the line.
We also need to find the slope. We can use the coordinates of the two given points to find the slope of the line.

The slope of the line that passes through points

(x_1, y_1) and (x_2, y_2)

is

m = \dfrac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}

Let's find the slope using (-3, 5) as point 1 and (-1, 4) as point 2.

m = \dfrac{4 - 5}{-1 - (-3)} = \dfrac{-1}{-1 + 3} = \dfrac{-1}{2} = -\dfrac{1}{2}

Now we use the point-slope formula with point 1 and the slope we found just above.

y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)

y - 5 = -\dfrac{1}{2}(x - (-3))

Answer:

138

Step-by-step explanation:

x is an exterior angle of a triangle.

If you didn't know, an exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of its opposite interior angles.

The opposite interior angles of x have measures of 80 degrees and 58 degrees.

Hence, x = 80 + 58 = 138

Marysya12 [62]

Usando proporciones, se encuentra que 400 africanos han participado.

En total, hay x participantes.

\frac{5}{6} de los corredores son europeos, o sea:

E = \frac{5x}{6}

Los americanos son la dècime parte de los europeos, o sea:

Am = \frac{1}{10}E = \frac{5x}{60} = \frac{x}{12}

Los africanos son la quinta parte de los americanos, o sea:

Afr = \frac{1}{5}Am = \frac{x}{60}

En la carrera han inscritos 24 000 participantes, o sea, x = 24000. Por eso, la cantidad de africanos es:

Afr = \frac{x}{60} = \frac{24000}{60} = 400

Sidana [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A shopper paid $2.52 for 4.5 pounds of potatoes. This means that the unit price for each potato would be

2.52/4.5 = 0.55556

Approximately $0.6 per pound.

The shopper paid $7.75 for 2.5 pounds of broccoli. This means that the unit price for each broccoli would be

7.75/2.5 = $3.1 per pound.

The shopper paid $2.45 for 2.5 pounds of pears. This means that the unit price for each pear would be

2.45/2.5 = $0.98 per pound
