Answer:

The answer is

<h2>y =  -  \frac{2}{5} x \\</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

To find an equation of a line when given the slope and a point we use the formula

y -  y_1 = m(x -  x_1)

where

m is the slope

( x1 , y1) is the point

From the question the point is ( 5 , - 2) and slope is - 2/5

The equation of the line is

y + 2 =  -  \frac{2}{5} (x - 5) \\ y + 2 =  -  \frac{2}{5} x + 2 \\ y =  -  \frac{2}{5} x + 2 - 2

We have the final answer as

y =  -  \frac{2}{5} x \\

Hope this helps you

Step-by-step explanation:

Patrick needs \dfrac34 cups of orange juice.

Capacity of measuring of cup = \dfrac18 cup

To find the number of \dfrac18 cups required, we will divide required quantity by \dfrac18.

Rosie wrote this expression to describe the amount she paid for each yoga class. Which situation could be described by this expr
kumpel [21]
If Rosie is trying to figure out the amount that she needs to pay for her total yoga classes.

First, we need to establish what we know, and what we do not know.
We know that Rosie knows how many yoga classes she has.
We know that she knows how many yoga classes she bought.
She does not know how much each yoga class costs.

So, that cancels out A, B, and C because she doesn't know how much one yoga class costs.

It can only be D, because D  tells us that she knows the total is $30, but not the amount each class costs.
