$\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{-4}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-8})~\hspace{10em} slope = m\implies -\cfrac{5}{2} \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-(-8)=-\cfrac{5}{2}[x-(-4)] \\\\\\ y+8=-\cfrac{5}{2}(x+4)\implies y+8=-\cfrac{5}{2}x-10\implies y=-\cfrac{5}{2}x-18$

Mkey [24]

500=140+40h
minus 140 both sides
360=40h
divide y 40
9=h

Graph the line for y+1=−3/5(x−4) on the coordinate plane. Move Line Undo Redo Reset

Answer:

The equation of line is shown below.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of line is

$y+1=\frac{-3}{5}(x-4)$

It is the point slope form of a line, therefore the slope of the line is $\frac{-3}{5}$ and the line passing through (4,-1).

Rewrite the above equation in slope intercept form.

$y=\frac{-3}{5}x+\frac{12}{5}-1$

$y=\frac{-3}{5}x+\frac{12-5}{5}$

$y=\frac{-3}{5}x+\frac{7}{5}$

The point slope form of a line is

$y=mx+b$

Where m is the slope and b is y-intercept.

Therefore the slope of the line is $\frac{-3}{5}$ and the y-intercept of the line is $\frac{7}{5}$ .

Slope is defined as

$m=\frac{Rise}{Run}$

Since the slope is negative, therefore the run of the line is considered on the left side. The line rise by 3 and run by 5, therefore we will add 7 in y and subtract 5 from x.

The y-intercept is $(0,\frac{7}{5})$ .

$(0-5,\frac{7}{5}+3)=(-5,\frac{22}{5})=(-5,4.4)$

Therefore we have three points (4,-1), (-5,4.4) and (0,1.4). Plot the point on the coordinate plane and connect them be a straight line.

The ratio to cats at an animal shelter 3:1. if there are 56 dogs and cats in all, how many more dogs than cats are there??

Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

There are 28 more dogs than cats at the animal shelter.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the ratio of dogs to cats at an animal shelter is 3:1, that means there are 3 dogs for every 1 cat.

The way I think about it is I try multiplying every number by 3 and 1, kind of like process of elimination.

After using every number from 1-13, I finally got to 14. Now, 3 x 14 = 42 and 1 x 14 = 14. Add 42 + 14 and you will get 56.

So there are 42 dogs and 14 cats at the animal shelter.

However, it is asking for how many more dogs than cats there are, so you have to subtract 42 - 14 and the answer is 28 more dogs than cats.
