ANSWER: \frac{2}{-5}

EXPLANATION:

We can use the slope formula and input the x and y values to solve for the slope.

\text{Slope Formula}: \frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1}}=m

\frac{5-3}{2-7}=m\\\text{Simplify.}\\\frac{2}{-5} =m

The slope of the line is \frac{2}{-5}

Flauer [41]

The experienced window washer can wash all the windows in Mike’s house in 2 hours, which implies that in 1 hour he completes 1/2 of the job.

By the same logic, the new trainee completes 1/7 of the job in one hour.

If they work together, they complete

\dfrac{1}{2}+\dfrac{1}{7}=\dfrac{7}{14}+\dfrac{2}{14}=\dfrac{9}{14}

of the job in one hour, meaning that they complete the job in 14/9 of a hour.

Marat540 [252]

Answer:

y+5 = -3(x-1)  point slope form

y = -3x-2 slope intercept form

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to find the slope

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

m = (7--5)/(-3-1)

   = (7+5)/(-3-1)

   = 12/-4

   = -3

The slope is -3

Then we can use point slope form to write an equation

y-y1 = m(x-x1)

y--5 = -3(x-1)

y+5 = -3(x-1)

This is in point slope form

Distribute

y+5 = -3x+3

Subtract 5 from each side

y+5-5 = -3x +3-5

y = -3x-2

This is in slope intercept form

Arte-miy333 [17]
Although the graph is not given in the option, so I would consider it from a different graph with the same question. The graph that represents the area of each rectangle in terms of the change in the length and width is the one with coordinate points located on the grid. The coordinate points on the form of (x,y) are represented as: 

1. (0,40)
2. (1,45)
3. (2,47) 
4. (8,25)

Hence,The graph with these coordinate points will be representing the situation.
