Answer:
Last choice.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the option that is equivalent to this equation, we can begin by narrowing down our options. The slope contains a negative number, meaning the second point must have a lower y value than the first.
Using this criteria, we can eliminate the first and the third answer. Now, we can test the second and fourth answer.
We can test using the slope formula and plugging in values. When the slope formula: 
We get a slope of -5 for both of these equations. Let's plug in the point values to check whether they work:
Choice 2:
-24 = -5(4) + 4
-24 = -20 + 4
-24 ≠ -16
Choice 4:
-16 = -5(4) + 4
-16 = -20 + 4
-16 = -16
Therefore, choice 4 is correct!
In the question, it is already given that the total number of runners in the race is 60 and out of them 1/3 dropped out in the first half. In the second half 1/4 of the remaining runners dropped out.
Now
Total number of runners in the race = 60
Number of runners that dropped out in the first half = 1/3 * 60
= 20
Number of runners remaining = 60 - 20
= 40
Number of runners dropping out in the second half = 40 * 1/4
= 10
Then the number of runners that finished the race = 40 - 10
= 30
Then 30 runners completed the race.
Answer: A
Step-by-step explanation: this is the only answer because the other two solutions are
A: 4>3 correct
B: 3>3 wrong
C: 2>3 wrong
