Five-sevenths of a number is -35. what is the number?

1 answer:

3 0

So lets write this equation out. Let x be that number we are trying to find.

So five-sevenths is a fraction that is written like this

5/7

when you see the word "of" that means multiplication

so we can write the full equation.

(5/7)x = -35

now we can solve

Multiply both sides by 7

5x = -245

now divide by 5
and we get

x = -49

Which equation represents the line that passes through (–6, 7) and (–3, 6)? y = –y equals negative startfraction one-third endfr

egoroff_w [7]

The equation represents the line that passes through (–6, 7) and (–3, 6) $\rm y=\dfrac{-1}{3}x+5$ .

<h3>What is the slope of the equation?</h3>

For all lines in slope y-intercept form, it would be very simple to just find the answer by finding yourself the slope and y-intercept of the line in question.

The slope of the line is;

$\rm m = \dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\\\m =\dfrac{7-6}{-6-(-3)}\\\\m = \dfrac{1}{-3}$
