16 students is the correct answer...
for every 5 boys there are 3 girls, so 20 boys 6 girls = the total of 16 students
Point-slope form is (y - y1) = m(x - x1) so just plug in your given info:
y - 2 = 3(x - 5)
so your answer is D!!
What you want to do for each of those is follow the formula, y-y[1]=m(x-x[1]). When I say y[1] and x[1], I mean the x and y values given. So the first one would be y-4=-3(x-(-1)). Then you solve for y by distributing the -3 to x and +1 (+1 because two negatives make a positive), making the equation
y-4=-3x-3. Then you subtract the 4. Answer #1. y=-3x-7.
#2.
y-1=1(x-4)
y-1=x-4
y=x-5
#3.
y-2=2(x-(-1))
y-2=2x+2
y=2x+4
Hope this helped you!
