First of all,
The total weight of the six dogs are:
71+34+15+23+18+56=217 pounds
Then, we know that the average weight of the seven dogs are 40 pounds, so the total weights of the seven dogs are:
40×7=280 pounds.
Lastly, we know that the six dogs weights are 217 pounds and the total weight of the seven dogs are 280 dogs, so the seventh weight of the dog is:
280-217=63 pounds. As a result, the seventh weight of the dogs at the vet is 63 pounds. Hope it help!

Answer:

y = -2x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope, you need to pick two points and put into the slope formula. It doesn't matter which ones, you will get the right answer regardless. I used (-3, 11) and (2, 1).

$m=\frac{y_{2} -y_{1} }{x_{2} -x_{1} } \\m=\frac{11 -1 }{-3 -2 } \\m=\frac{10 }{-5 } \\m=-2$

Now that you have the slope, you can plug it into point-slope form to find the equation in slope-intercept form. You will also need to plug one of the given points. Again, it doesn't matter which one.

$y-y_{1}=m(x-x_{1} )\\y-1=-2(x-2)\\y-1=-2x+4\\y=-2x+5$
