" the sum " means add

17 + 2x = 87
2x = 87 - 17
2x = 70
x = 70/2
x = 35 <==

Find the equation of the line between the points (10, – 5) and ( - 2,0).
Natali5045456 [20]

Answer <u>(assuming it can be in slope-intercept form)</u>:

y = -\frac{5}{12} x-\frac{5}{6}  

Step-by-step explanation:

1) First, find the slope of the line between the two points by using the slope formula, m  = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}. Substitute the x and y values of the given points into the formula and solve:

m = \frac{(0)-(-5)}{(-2)-(10)} \\m = \frac{0+5}{-2-10} \\m=\frac{5}{-12}

Thus, the slope of the line is -\frac{5}{12}.

2) Next, use the point-slope formula y-y_1 = m (x-x_1) to write the equation of the line in point-slope form. Substitute values for m, x_1, and y_1 in the formula.

Since m represents the slope, substitute -\frac{5}{12} in its place. Since x_1 and y_1 represent the x and y values of one point the line intersects, choose any of the given points (it doesn't matter which one, it will equal the same thing) and substitute its x and y values into the formula as well. (I chose (-2,0), as seen below.) Then, isolate y and expand the right side in the resulting equation to find the equation of the line in slope-intercept form:

y-(0)=-\frac{5}{12} (x-(-2))\\y-0 = -\frac{5}{12} (x+2)\\y = -\frac{5}{12} x-\frac{5}{6}

Lusia ran 3 2/3 kilometers in 1/3 of an hour. If speed is distance over time, calculate lusia's speed.
Romashka [77]
In the question, they give you the formula for speed...

speed = distance / time

They also give you the distance and the time, so all we have to do is stick them into the equation...

speed =  3 2/3 Km / 1/3 hour
speed = 3 2/3 / 1/3

To divide the fractions, first we need to convert 3 2/3 into an improper fraction

3 2/3 = 11/3

now we multiply 11/3 x the reciprocal of the divisor 1/3.  The reciprocal just means flip the numerator and denominator

speed = 11/3 x 3/1
speed = 33/3
speed = 11 Km/hour
