Answer:

y = -4x + 15.

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope = (-1-7)/(4-2)

= -8/2

= -4.

So we have:

y = -4x + b

To find b, we plug in the point (2, 7):

7 = -4(2) + b

b = 7+8 = 15.

So the equation is

y = -4x + 15.

Slope intercept form is y = mx + b.

Y = coordinate y.

M = Slope

X = coordinate x.

B = y-intercept.

Slope formula: (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)

Plug in: (-1 - 7) / (4 - 2) = -4.

We can just insert the pair (2,7) as our x and y to solve b.

7 = -4(2) + b.

Solve for b.

7 = -8 + b.

-b = -8 -7

-b = -15

b = 15.

Original equation:

y = mx + b

y = -4x + 15

step-by-step explanation:

The property to apply here is : congruent (corresponding alternate exterior and alternate interior angles) and supplementary (consecutive interior angles)

1.h = 180°-120°=60°=e=d=a

f=120° = c=b

2.b=180°-105°=75°=c=f=g

a=105°=e=h

3. f=180°-36°=144°=g=c=b

a=36°=d=h

4. a=180°-161°=19°=e=h=d

c=161°=f=g

5. f=180°-145°=35°=g=c=b

a=145°=d=h

6. b=180°-25°=155°=c=f=g

Answer:

9 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

$495 divided by 15 hours = $33 - this is how much the trainer charges per hour.

$297 divided by $33 per hour = 9 hours of training
