Carina spent a total of $5.27 buying a pineapple for $3.40 and some tomatoes that were on sale for $0.85 per pound. To determine

the number of pounds of tomatoes that she bought, x, Carina wrote and solved the equation as shown below. 3.40 + 0.85 x = 5.27. 0.85 x = 8.67. x = 10.2 pounds. Where, if anywhere, did Carina make an error?

Answer:

She subtracted 3.4 on the left and added 3.40 on the right

Step-by-step explanation:

3.40 + 0.85 x = 5.27

Subtract 3.40 from each side  

3.40 -3.40+ 0.85 x = 5.27-3.40

.85x = 5.27 - 3.40

.85x =1.87

Divide by .85

.85x/.85 =1.87/.85

x = 2.2

Answer:

y = -1/4x -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Mathematically, we have the slope intercept form as;

y = mx + b

where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

from the question;

m is -1/4

So we have :

y = -1/4x + b

To get the value of b, we substitute the coordinates given and solve for b

Firstly, multiply through by 4

That will

give ;

4y = -x + 4b

4(-4) = -12 + 4b

-16 = -12 + 4b

-16 + 12 = 4b

4b = -4

b = -4/4

b = -1

So the equation in the slope intercept form is;

y = -1/4x -1

Use the work shown below to write the equation for a line that passes through the points (−5, 0) and (−1, −8).
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

M = -2

b = -10

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to find the slope

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (-8 -0)/(-1- -5)

   = (-8-0)/(-1+5)

    = -8/4

    = -2

We now want to find the y intercept

y = mx+b is the slope intercept form of the equation

y = -2x+b

Using the point (-5,0)

0 = -2(-5) +b

0 = 10+b

Subtract 10 from each side

-10 = 10-10+b

-10 =b

The y intercept is -10

y= -2x-10
