Hello!
The problem has asked that we write a
point-slope
equation of the line in the image above.
Point-Slope Form uses the following formula:
y –

= m(x –

)
In this case, M represents the
slope while

and

represent the
corresponding X and Y values of any given point on the line.
We are given that the slope of the line is -

. We also know that any given point on a graph takes the form (x,y). Based on the single point provided in the image above, we can determine that

is equal to
6 and

is equal to
2. Now insert all known values into the point-slope formula above:
y – 2 = -

(x – 6)
We have now successfully created an equation based on the information given in the problem above. Looking at the four possible options, we can now come to the conclusion that
the answer is C.
I hope this helps!
Question 1:
We are going to add.
1/5 + 1/2
2/10 + 5/10
7/10
Note that we are going DOWN so the number will be negative.
Therefore, the answer is A.) -7/10
Question 2:
We are going to subtract.
4 1/2 - 1 2/3
9/2 - 5/3
27/6 - 10/6
17/6 or 2 5/6
Note that we are still BELOW sea level so the number will be negative.
Therefore, the answer is C.) -2 5/6
Question 3:
We are going to subtract.
2 2/3 - 1 1/5
8/3 - 6/5
40/15 - 18/15
22/15 or 1 7/15
Therefore, the answer is B.) 1 7/15
Best of Luck!
Dr. Newton needs 5000 dollars, and 3000 dollars have already been saved. So, 2000 dollars remain.
If these 2000 dollars must be saved withint 8 months, we can divide the amount needed by the time given, to find out that Dr Newton needs to save

dollars each month.
2/5 or 0.4 Because only two of the five numbers are even or greater than 78
