Answer:

Paul have $250 and Rachel have $500 originally.

Step-by-step explanation:

Rachel: 2x

Paul: x

If I gave Rachel $250, then:

Rachel: 2x + 250

Paul: 3x

We have he equation:

2x + 250 = 3x

2x - 3x = -250

-x = -250

x = 250

Let's make "x" the amount of Paul.

2x = Rachel.

This means that 2x + 250 = 3x.

Solve:

2x + 250 = 3x

2x - 3x = 250

-x = 250

x = 250

So that means Paul had 250 dollars.

And Rachel had 500 dollars.

Which is an equation in point-slope form for the given point and slope?
xxMikexx [17]

Hi There!

Solution,

Point Slope Form: y - y1 = m(x - x1)

Now you have a reference equation of what the answer should look like.

By looking at the answer choices you can eliminate A.

Tip: When you have a negative number you are going to add. For Example, if you have -8, you will input x + 8 or y + 8.

Tip 2: When you have a positive number you are going to subtract. For Example, if you have 3 you will input x - 3 or y - 3.

We can eliminate B because its not subtracting 3.

We can also eliminate C because its not adding -8.

The best answer choice is D.

Answer,

y – 3 = 6(x + 8)

I hope you understand, so you can do this in the future on your own.

Hope This Helps :)
