Answer:

$\huge\boxed{y = -5x - 4}$

Write an equation in the format y = mx + b, or the slope-intercept formula, where:

m = slope

b = y-intercept

Plug in the values given:

y = (-5)x + (-4)

Simplify:

y = -5x - 4. This is the equation in slope-intercept form.

Answer: y=-5x-4

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope intercept form is y=mx+b

Since m represents slope you will plug in -5 because that is your slope.

Since b represents the y-intercept, you will plug in -4 after y=-5x

so therefore your equation is y=-5x-4

A turtle is 20 5/6 inches below the surface of a pond. It dives to a depth of 32 1/4 inches. What was the change in the turtles

Lana71 [14]

Alrite, so their change is just their difference, namely 32 1/4 - 20 5/6.

let's change those to "improper" fractions first.

$\bf 20\frac{5}{6}\implies \cfrac{20\cdot 6+5}{6}\implies \cfrac{125}{6}
\\\\\\
32\frac{1}{4}\implies \cfrac{32\cdot 4+1}{4}\implies \cfrac{129}{4}\impliedby \textit{let's use an LCD of \underline{12}}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\$

$\bf \cfrac{129}{4}-\cfrac{125}{6}\implies \cfrac{(3\cdot 129)+(2\cdot 125)}{12}\implies \cfrac{387-250}{12}\implies \cfrac{137}{12}
\\\\\\
\textit{hmmm 12 goes into 137, 11 times, thus}\quad \boxed{11\frac{5}{12}}
\\\\\\
\textit{because}\qquad \cfrac{11\cdot 12+5}{12}\implies \cfrac{132+5}{12}\implies \cfrac{137}{12}$
