Answer: 100 boxes

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, since 1 ton = 2,000 lbs

We have to divide 10lbs by 2000 to convert the lbs in tons.

1t/2000lb = xt / 10lb

10 /2000=0.005

0.005 ton = 10 lbs (1 bag)

Each box has 4 bags

0.005 ton x 4 = 0.02 ton

So each box weights 0.02 ton

Since we need 2 tons.

Using proportions:

0.02t/1 box= 2 t / x boxes

x = 2 / (0.02/1)

x = 100 boxes  

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.

Find a point-slope form for the line with slope 1/5 and passing through the point (-4,-9).
sattari [20]

Answer:

y + 9 = \frac{1}{5}(x + 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line

Here m = \frac{1}{5} and (a, b) = (- 4, - 9) , thus

y - (- 9) = \frac{1}{5}(x - (- 4) ) , that is

y + 9 = \frac{1}{5}(x + 4)
