Answer:
y =
x + 
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 )
To calculate the slope use the gradient formula
m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 3, 4) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (5, 7)
m =
=
, hence
y =
x + c ← is the partial equation
To find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation
using (5, 7 ), then
7 =
+ c ⇒ c = 7 -
= 
y =
x +
← equation in slope-intercept form
When you solve a proportion, your first step should be to cross-multiply.

=

When you cross-multiply, you should get this equation:
(2x)(3) = (x + 3)(5)
Now, solve it using algebra.
(2x)(3) = (x + 3)(5) Multiply
6x = 5x + 15 Subtract 5x from both sides
x = 15
The value of
x is 15.
A + C
(-5, -7) is 7 units to the left of point H
(-7, 7) is more than 7 units up and left of point H
the x axis is at (infinity, 0), being only 7 points up from point H
after 6 hours Al and Ben will be 180 miles apart.
(22 * x) + (8 * x) = 180
x = 6 hours
My guess is 9 hours, because since pipe a takes 12 hours and with pipe b it takes 9, it's 12-9=3
I think.
