There are two ways to equate a straight line. We first have y=mx+b. Then, we have (y-y₁)=m(x-x₁). Both work fine and have similar variables, but the numbers are mixed around a bit. Your equation clearly shows the second form of equation. As our equation has x-x₁ on the right, we can notice that x+1 must mimic that, so x+1=(x-x₁). As x-(-1)=x+1, we can only assume that x is -1. Looking at the points given to us, y must be -2, so we have y-(-2)=y+2, so 2 fills in the leftmost open box. To find the slope, or m, we must take
from points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂). It doesn't matter which point is (x₁, y₁) , but it matters that the y₁ corresponds to the x₁. Thus, we have our slope as

Answer:
y/x = 2.5
Step-by-step explanation:
y ∝ x
change ∝ to = by adding constant k or c
y = kx
Divide both sides by x
y/x = k, also k = y/x
Input the values
k = (7 1/2)/3. Change 7 1/2 to improper fraction to give 15/2
k = (15/2)/3
k = 
÷ 3
Change the division sign to multiplication which will change 3 to its inverse(1/3)
k = × 
k = 
Divide the numerator and denominator by 3 to get 5/2
k = 5/2
From y/x = k,input k into the eqn
y/x = 5/2
y/x = 2.5
Add all the sides together
10+15+7+8+8+2=50 ft
