5 - 1/2 x = 5/8 x + 2
-1/2 x - 5/8 x = 2 - 5
-4/8 x - 5/8 x = -3
-9/8 x = -3
x = (-3)(-8/9)
x = 8/3
x = 2 2/3

Write an equation in point-slope form of the line that passes through the given points. Then write the equation in slope-interce

Nonamiya [84]

First we need to find the slope
y2-y1/x2-x1
-6-4/-3-2
-10/-5 <---this can be simplified
Slope=2
Point slope:
y-y1=m(x-x1)
Now take the first pair of coordinates and plug them in their proper spots it helps to label them then plug in
y1=4
x1=2
m=slope=2
Now plug them in our final answer would be :
y-4=2(x-2)
Slope intercept:
y = mx + b
where:
m is the slope of the line
b is the y-intercept of the line
Slope is known
y=2x+b
To find the b you pick one of the given coordinates let's do (2,4)
Plug them into what we have
y=2x+b
4=2(2)+b
solve for b
4=4+b
subtract 4 from both sides
b=0 therefore the equation would simply be
y=2x

Laura has $30 to spend on food for the week. Which inequality represents this? x < 30 x < 30 x > 30 x > 30

steposvetlana [31]

In the given question Laura has $30 to spend on food for the week.

According to the question we have to set the inequality between total amount and amount spent on food.

Amount spend by Laura on food for the week = $30

Let the amount spent by Laura on food be x

So she has to spend up to $30

So inequality will be $x\leqslant 30$
