The point-slope form:

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

We have the point (-3, -1) and the slope m = 3/5. Substitute:

$y-(-1)=\dfrac{3}{5}(x-(-3))\\\\y+1=\dfrac{3}{5}(x+3)\qquad\text{use distributive property}\\\\y+1=\dfrac{3}{5}x+\dfrac{9}{5}\qqua\text{subtract 1 from both sides}\\\\y=\dfrac{3}{5}x+\dfrac{4}{5}\qquad\text{multiply both sides by 5}\\\\5y=3x+4\qquad\text{subtract 3x from both sides}\\\\-3x+5y=4\qquad\text{change the signs}\\\\3x-5y=-4$

Answer:

point-slope form: y + 1 = 3/5(x + 3)

slope-intercept form: y = 3/5x + 4/5

standard form: 3x - 5y = -4

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope is 1. Note how each time x increases by 1 unit, y also increases by 1 unit.

The y-intercept is (0, -1).

Answer C is correct.

What is the width of this shape

77julia77 [94]

We see that the area is 159 3/8 and the length is 18 3/4.

Because the area is the length*width, to find the width, we must divide the area by the length.

Think of it this way:
$A = l*w$

Divide l on both sides:
$\frac{A}{l} = w$

And w is what we're looking for.
So, divide 159 3/8 by 18 3/4.

You should get that the width is 8.5 feet :)

How do you round 103.468 to the nearest liter?

sergeinik [125]

103 stays because it is the whole number and the next number after the decimal is below 5.

103 is your answer.
