Slope
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m = (10 - 7)/(2 --1)
m = 3/3
m = 1

To find the equation
y = mx + b
m is slope
y = 1x + b
plug in one of the equations to solve for b
10 = 1(2) + b
10 = 2 + b
subtract 2 from both sides
8 = b

The equation is
y = 1x + 8
or you can write it as
y = x + 8

Hope this helps

The number of stamps that Kaye and Alberto had were in the ration of 5:3 respecctively. After Kaye gave Alberto 10 of her stamps

masha68 [24]

Answer: The correct option is

(D) 60.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that the number of stamps that Kaye and Alberto had were in the ration of 5:3 respectively.

After Kaye gave Alberto 10 of her stamps, the ration of the number of Kaye had to the number of Alberto had was 7:5.

We are to find the number of stamps that Kaye had more than Alberto.

Let the number of stamps Kaye and Alberto has are 5x and 3x respectively.

Then, according to the given information, we have

$(5x-10):(3x+10)=7:5\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{5x-10}{3x+10}=\dfrac{7}{5}\\\\\Rightarrow 25x-50=21x+70\\\\\Rightarrow4x=120\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{120}{4}\\\\\Rightarrow x=30.$
