Answer:
y = -2/3x
Step-by-step explanation:
To write in y=mx+b form, you need the y-intercept (b) and the slope (m).
The y-intercept is the point the line crosses the y-axis. This line crosses the y-axis of (0, 0). This makes the y-intercept equal to 0.
The slope is the rise of the line over the run of the line. Pick two points from the line. It doesn't matter which ones, you will get the right answer regardless.
I picked (0, 0) and (-3, 2). Subtract the x-values from each other, and subtract the y-values from each other.
-3 - 0 = -3 (x)
2 - 0 = 2 (y)
Divide the y by the x to find the slope.
2/-3 = -2/3
Plug in the slope and y-intercept into the equation.
y = mx + b
y = -2/3x + 0
y = -2/3x
Answer:
If I'm correct, the answer should be negative 40/3.
Step-by-step explanation:
Because you first combine multiplied terms into a single fraction, then you multiply all terms by the same value to eliminate fraction denominators. Now you simplify it, by canceling multiplied terms that are in the denominator and then you multiply the numbers. Now you will divide both sides of the equation by the same term. Finally, you will simplify the equation.
(Hope this helps) I had to get a little help myself on this problem)
The weight of the new student is 27 kg.
Average weight
= total weight ÷total number of students
<h3>
1) Define variables</h3>
Let the total weight of the 35 students be y kg and the weight of the new student be x kg.
<h3>2) Find the total weight of the 35 students</h3>
<u>
</u>
y= 35(45)
y= 1575 kg
<h3>3) Write an expression for average weight of students after the addition of the new student</h3>
New total number of students
= 35 +1
= 36
Total weight
= total weight of 35 students +weight of new students
= y +x
<h3>4) Substitute the value of y</h3>
<h3>5) Solve for x</h3>
36(44.5)= 1575 +x
1602= x +1575
<em>Subtract 1575 from both sides:</em>
x= 1602 -1575
x= 27
Thus, the weight of the new student is 27 kg.
