Since there are 16 oz in a pound, you multiply 16x5 and get 80, so then you just add the extra ounces (10) and your answer is D) 90 oz
You already know the slope is 3 and you have the point, so you would plug it into y = mx + b
-2 = y
3 = m
-5 = x
Plug in:
-2 = 3(-5) + b
Solve:
-2 = -15 + b
-2 (+15) = -15 + b (+15)
13 = b
Now you have b, so you can form the equation where the slope is 3x and the y-intercept is 13.
Final answer: y = 3x + 13
Answer:
(d) (7, -5)
Step-by-step explanation:
The x-coordinate is listed first in an ordered pair. It is found on the horizontal scale. The point is on the grid line halfway between 6 and 8, so is presumed to have an x-coordinate of 7.
The y-coordinate is listed second in an ordered pair. It is found on the vertical scale. The point is on the grid line halfway between -4 and -6, so is presumed to have a y-coordinate of -5.
The coordinates of point A are (x, y) = (7, -5).

<em>Additional comment</em>
As in the case here, you will often run across graphs that don't have markings on every grid line You are expected to be able to figure out the value of a grid line based on the spacing of the marked lines.
It is a good idea to get familiar with reading coordinates of a point on a graph, as you will be doing it a lot.
