Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

To turn the word problem into an equation, when we read:

"I am thinking of a number" we write "x"

"when I double my number" we write "2x"

"and then subtract the result from 5" we write "5 - 2x"

"I get negative one" we write "-1 = 5 - 2x"

Now we solve for the number, which is x.

<em>Equation: </em>-1 = 5 - 2x

-1 = 5 - 2x

subtract 5 from both sides

-6 = -2x

divide both sides by -2

3 = x

<h3>There we go! The number is </h3><h2>3</h2>

Give the equation of the line through the point ( – 15, - 1) with a slope of -3/5 in slope -intercept form
shutvik [7]

Answer:

-1 = (-3/5)-15 + b

(I don't know the y-intercept bc I don't have a graphing calc but to find it out you just graph it and then see where the line passes thru the y axis)

It appears the appropriate selections are ...
