X - students
y - faculty members

The student to faculty ratio is 17:3.
x:y=17:3
\frac{x}{y}=\frac{17}{3} \\
x=\frac{17}{3}y

The number of students and faculty is 740.
x+y=740 \\
x=\frac{17}{3}y \\
\Downarrow \\
\frac{17}{3}y+y=740 \ \ \ |\times 3 \\
17y+3y=2220 \\
20y=2220 \\
y=111 \\ \\ 
x=\frac{17}{3}y=\frac{17}{3} \times 111=\frac{1887}{3}=629


There are 629 students and 111 faculty members at the college.

So students:faculty=17:3
total =740
we can assume that the units are the same so 17+3=20 so
740=20 units
74=2 units
37=1 unit

faculty=3 units
37 times 3=111
there are 111 faculty members

Which answer is the equation of the line represented in function notation?
algol [13]

That has a y intercept at y=-1.   For every one block to the right we go three blocks up, so that's a slope of 3/1=3.    So in slope-intercept form our equation is

y = 3 x - 1

Answer: third choice
