For this case we have that, the equation of the line in slope intercept form is given by:

$y = mx + b$

Where:

m is the slope

b is the cut point with the y axis

If we have:

$y-1 = -7 (x-3)$

We take it in the form $y = mx + b$ we have:

Knowing that $- * - = +$ and applying distributive property to the terms of the parenthesis:

$y = -7x + 21 + 1\\y = -7x + 22\\So,\ b = 22$

Answer:

Option D

Josie hikes at 2 and 3/4 miles per hour. How long will it take her to hike 9 and 5/8 miles?

Leviafan [203]

First, let's convert the givens to decimals to make calculations easier:
2 (3/4) = 2.75
9(5/8) = 9.625

We are given that:
Josie can hike 2.75 miles in one hour.
To know the time that Josie would take to hike 9.625 miles, we will simply do cross multiplication as follows:
2.75 miles ..........> 1 hour
9.625 miles .............> ?? hours

Time = (9.625*1) / (2.75) = 3.5 hours

Nikki packed unit cubes into a prism, as shown. Which statement about the volume of the box is true?

See the explanation

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Hello, recall that you need to write complete questions in order to get exact answers. Here we have a missing diagram so I can help you in a general way. A prism is a three dimensional shape that has two identical ends (flat faces

) and the same cross section all along its length. A cube is a special type of prism having six identical square sides. So the volume of a prism given the length of a side as s is:

$V=s^3$
