1. find our slope: y2 - y1/ x2- x 1

-9 + 4= -5
2 - 2 = 0

m = 0

2. now we need to use our point-slope form to find our y intercept

point-slope form: y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y + 4 = 0(x - 2)

distribute:
y + 4 = 0x

3. get y by itself

y + 4 - 4 = y
0x - 4 = 0x - 4

4. write in slope-intercept form:

y = 0x - 4
OR
y = -4

Franco read 3/8 of a chapter of his history book in 1/5 of an hour. At this rate, how many chapters of his history book can he r

Irina18 [472]

He can read $1\frac{7}{8}$ chapters of his history book in 1 hour.

<em><u>Explanation</u></em>

Franco read 3/8 of a chapter of his history book in 1/5 of an hour.

Suppose, he can read $x$ chapters of his book in 1 hour at this rate.

So, the equation according to the <u>ratio of 'the chapter to the time'</u> will be....

$\frac{x}{1}= \frac{\frac{3}{8}}{\frac{1}{5}}\\ \\ \frac{x}{1}=\frac{3}{8}*\frac{5}{1}\\ \\ \frac{x}{1}=\frac{15}{8} \\ \\ x= \frac{15}{8}= 1\frac{7}{8}$

So, he can read $1\frac{7}{8}$ chapters of his history book in 1 hour.
