<span>Carol noticed that 7/10 of the children playing soccer were girls. Which statement could be correct?
A. There were 28 girls and 12 boys playing soccer.
28 : x% = 40 (the total number of children) : 100%
40x = 28 * 100
40x = 2800
x = 2800 / 40
x = 70%
There were 70% of girls in the class.
70 / 100 = 0.7
7/ 10 = 0.7
This is why A is the correct answer.

Heyy pls help! worth 20 points, and please only help if you know the answer. also no links those r kinda annoying lol

iragen [17]

Step 1: Find the slope:

$m= \dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}= \dfrac{-2-7}{4-(-2)} = \dfrac{-9}{6}= -\dfrac{3}{2}$

This gives you $y=-\dfrac{3}{2}x+b$ , but we need to find b.

To find b, substitute in one (x,y) pair and it doesn't matter which one. I'll go with (4,-2):

$\begin{aligned}-2&=-\dfrac{3}{2}(4)+b\\[0.5em]-2&=-6+b\\[0.5em]4&=b\end{aligned}$

Now take that b-value and plug in into the slope-intercept form:

$y=-\dfrac{3}{2}x+4$

It's always a good idea to toss in the other x-value from the other point, to make sure it checks out.
