The line passing through (3, -1) and (-1, 5) has this slope:
5+1
m = ---------- = -3/2
-1-3
We need to find the y-intercept. To do this, substitute the knowns (-3/2 for m, -1 for y and 3 for x) into the slope-intercept equation:
-1 = (-3/2)(3) + b. Then: -1 = -9/2 + b, and so b = 9/2 - 1 = 7/2.
The desired equation is y = (-3/2)x + 7/2.

Solution:
The ratio is FEMALES to MALES.
So its 18/16, 18:16, or 18 to 16.
~Now we need to simplify.
18:16 → 18/2:16/2 → 9:8
*Note* When you have a ratio you need to know which comes first. If you put males to females that incorrect. It has to be correct according to the question.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Amount deducted for Medicare = $725
Amount deducted for state income tax = $3000
Amount deducted for Social security = $3100
To find: Total amount deducted from Alton's pay for FICA last year
Solution:
Total amount deducted from Alton's pay for FICA last year = Amount deducted for Medicare + Amount deducted for state income tax + Amount deducted for Social security = 
On adding 725 and 3000, we get 
On adding 3725 and 3100, we get 
So, amount deducted = 
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
y = - 4x + 9 ← is in slope- intercept form
with slope m = - 4
Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is
= -
= -
=
, hence
y =
x + c ← is the partial equation of the perpendicular line
To find c substitute (4, 5) into the partial equation
5 = 1 + c ⇒ c = 5 - 1 = 4
y =
x + 4 ← equation of perpendicular line → C
