To form an equation with the given information, we use the formula :

y = mx + b, m being the slope and b being the y-intercept.

Since it is given that the slope is -9/7, we substitute m with -9/7.

y = -9/7x + b

To find b, we will substitute the known coordinates into the equation :
At point (-7 , 4), x = -7, y = 4

4 = -9/7 (-7) + b
4  = 9 + b
b = 4 - 9
b = -5

Now we know that b = -5, we will substitute b = -5 into the equation that we found earlier, y = -9/7 x + b :

y = - 9/7x - 5

To make it more readable, we can multiply the equation by 7:
7y = -9x - 5
7y + 9x + 5 = 0

-----------------------------------------------------------
Answer : 7y + 9x + 5 = 0

Write an equation in slope intercept form for the line that passes through (2,-2) and is parallel to y=-5/2x+5
DENIUS [597]

y=mx+b\\y=x-2

<em>Only y= x - 2 intercepts x-axis at 2 and y-axis at -2. Thus meaning that they intercept oppositely.</em>

<em>Find if both graphs are parallel, that means the equation must be false.</em>

<em />x-2=-\frac{5}{2}x+5<em />

<em>Multiply whole equation by 2 to get rid of the fractional 2.</em>

<em />2x-(2)(2)=-\frac{5}{2}(2)(x)+5(2)\\ 2x-4=-5x+10\\2x-4+5x-10=0\\7x-14=0\\7x=14\\x=2<em />

<em>Well, that doesn't seem to be parallel. This is called one solution answer. Both graphs intercept at (2,0). There are no linear graphs that intercept at (2,-2) except for y = x-2 so there are no graphs with (2,-2) that are parallel to the equation y = -5x/2+5 </em>

An average American child aged 0-2 years old has about 915 minutes of screen time in 5 days. 6 times the difference between a ch
Alborosie

Answer:

For children ages 2 to 5, limit screen time to one hour a day of high-quality programming. As your child grows, a one-size-fits-all approach doesn't work as well. You'll need to decide how much media to let your child use each day and what's appropriate.

Step-by-step explanation:

For kids aged 2 to 5, screen time should be limited to 1 hour per day, and parents should watch the programs with their child. Also, parents should have times when screens are turned off, and bedrooms should be media-free.
