Find the equation of the line connecting (0, 5) and (-2, 0).

As we go from the first point to the second, x decreases by 2 and y decreases by 5.  Thus, the slope of this line is m = rise / run = -5/(-2), or 5/2.

Starting with the general equation of a line in slope-intercept form, y = mx + b, substitute the knowns as appropriate to determine the value of b:

y= mx + b => 5 = (5/2)(0) + b.  Then b = 5, and the desired equation is

y = (5/2)x + 5.

Check this!  If we subst. the coordinates of (-2,0) into this equation, is the equation true?

0 = (5/2)(-2) + 5

Yes.  So, y = (5/2)x + 5 is the desired equation.

2(a+7) - 7 = 9 what is the answer
REY [17]

Answer:

The answer is 1

Step-by-step explanation:

2(a+7)−7=9

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

2(a+7)−7=9

(2)(a)+(2)(7)+−7=9(Distribute)

2a+14+−7=9

(2a)+(14+−7)=9(Combine Like Terms)

2a+7=9

2a+7=9

Step 2: Subtract 7 from both sides.

2a+7−7=9−7

2a=2

Step 3: Divide both sides by 2.

2a

2

=

Michelle’s method WILL work because we have to add an extra 18% to the already total (100) michaels way would work if the tip was apart of the bill, but it is extra . Hence, Michelle’s method being correct
