Answer:
y = -1/2x - 1
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use the point-slope form of the equation:
y-y1 = m(x-x1)
Where the given y1 = -2, x1 = 2, and m = -1/2. This yields:
y - (-2) = -1/2(x - 2)
y + 2 = -1/2x + 1
y = -1/2x +1 - 2
y = -1/2x - 1
Answer:
-13 = n - 4
Step-by-step explanation:
-13 is four less than a number n
so four less than n can be written as n - 4
-13 = n - 4
n= -9
So the train is pulling about 50 cars in total, and there's about 30 boxes of freight in each car.
30 x 50 = 1500
The best estimate would be near 1500 boxes of freight through the whole train.
