(-3,-5)(2,4)
slope(m) = (4 - (-5) / (2 - (-3) = (4 + 5) / (2 + 3) = 9/5

y - y1 = m(x - x1)
slope(m) = 9/5
(2,4)...x1 = 2 and y1 = 4
sub
y - 4 = 9/5(x - 1)....this is the correct answer

the student figured the slope wrong....it is 9/5...not -9/5

Cindy collects baseball cards and hockey cards. For every hockey card Cindy has, she has five baseball cards. If Cindy has 840 t
amm1812
We will use B for the number of baseball cards and H for the number of hockey cards.

B = 5H
B + H = 840

Use substitution by plugging 5H in for B in the second equation.

5H + H = 840

6H = 840

H = 140

If there are 140 hockey cards, then there are 5*140 = 700 baseball cards.

So the answer is 700.

A textbook store sold a combined total of 332 history and chemistry textbooks in a week. The number of chemistry textbooks sold
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

208 history books

124 chemistry books

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a = total number of books

b = number of history books

c = number of chemistry books

a = b + c

We know that a is equal to 332 and c = b - 84

Let's substitute this value to our equation and solve for b first. Now we get:

332 = b + ( b - 84)

332 = 2b - 84

332 + 84 = 2b

416 = 2b

b = 208

Now we can solve for c

332 = 208 + c

332 - 208 = c

c = 124

Now let's check

a = 332

b = 208

c = b - 84 = 208 - 84 = 124

FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

  20 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The shadow of the bird house is 14/3.5 = 4 times the length of your friend's shadow. Consequently, we expect the height of the bird house to be 4 times the height of your friend:

  4(5 ft) = 20 ft

The height of the bird house is 20 ft.
