Answer: Option c.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the line in Slope-Intercept form is:

$y=mx+b$

Where "m" is the slope and "b" is the y-intercept.

Given the equation:

$-5y = -6x + 15$

Solve for "y" in order to write in Slope-Intercept form:

$y = \frac{-6}{-5}x + \frac{15}{-5}\\\\y = \frac{6}{5}x -3$

Now you can identify that that the slope and the y-intercept are:

$m=\frac{6}{5}\\\\b=-3$

A posive slope means that the the line moves upward from left to right.

With this information, you can conclude that the the graph that best represents the given equation is the graph shown in the Option c.

Answer:

58 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, Karen worked on the model in two windows;

1) 11.13 AM - 11.54 AM = 41 minutes

2) 1.29 PM - 1.46 PM = 17 minutes.

Hence, the total amount of time Karen spent working on the Shuttle model is:

41minutes + 17minutes = 58 minutes.
