The slope-point formula:

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\\\\m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

We have:

(-1,\ 1.5)\to x_1=-1,\ y_1=1.5\\(0.5,\ 0.5)\to x_2=0.5,\ y_2=0.5

Substitute:

m=\dfrac{0.5-1.5}{0.5-(-1)}=\dfrac{-1}{1.5}=-\dfrac{1}{\frac{3}{2}}=-\dfrac{2}{3}\\\\y-1.5=-\dfrac{2}{3}(x-(-1))\\\\y-1.5=-\dfrac{2}{3}x-\dfrac{2}{3}\\\\y-\dfrac{3}{2}=-\dfrac{2}{3}x-\dfrac{2}{3}\ \ \ |+\dfrac{3}{2}\\\\y=-\dfrac{2}{3}x-\dfrac{2}{3}+\dfrac{3}{2}\\\\y=-\dfrac{2}{3}x-\dfrac{2\cdot2}{3\cdot2}+\dfrac{3\cdot3}{2\cdot3}\\\\y=-\dfrac{2}{3}x-\dfrac{4}{6}+\dfrac{9}{6}\\\\y=-\dfrac{2}{3}x+\dfrac{5}{6}

Molly's snowboard is 150 cm long; Pete's is 16% longer. How long is Pete's snowboard?​
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

174 centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

You take 150 and divide it by 10 which gives you 15. since you divide it by 10 and it gives you 15 that means ten percent is 15 centimeters. since we need to find out what the 16 percent is we take the 15 and divide that by 10 which gives us 1.5. That tells us every 1 percent, is 1.5 centimeters. you take the 150 and add 15 and that gives you 165. We have already done 10 percent out of the 16 percent . Now we have to figure out how much the rest of the 6 percent is so we take the 1.5 and multiply it with the 6 and we get a 9. That covers up for the rest of the 6 percent out of the 16 percent. Now we add 165 with 9 to get our answer of 174 centimeters.

What distance would Mario travel if he drove for 4 3/4 hours at 70 miles per hour? Assume that a steady speed was maintained.
Tomtit [17]
You would turn the mixed fraction into a improper fraction by multiplying the denominator by the whole number then you add the numerator. So, your improper fraction will be 19/4. Now do 19/4 *70 and you get 1330/4 or 332 2/4
