Remark

So far what you know is that

y = mx - 2

Now all you need do is use the point to solve for m

y = - 4

x = 5                           Substitute

- 4 = m(5) - 2              Add 2 to both sides

-4 + 2 = 5m - 2 + 2

- 2 = 5m                      Divide both sides by 5

-2 / 5 = 5/5 m

- 0.4 = m

Answer: y = - 0.4x - 2 or

Answer: y = - (2/5)x - 2

Nate rented a power washer and a generator. On his first job, he used each piece of equipment for 6 hours which cost $90. On his
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

p = power washer and g = generator

6p + 6g = 90 .....multiply by 4

4p + 8g = 100 ....multiply by -6

---------------------

24p + 24g = 360 (result of multiplying by 4)

-24p - 48g = -600 (result of multiplying by -6)

---------------------add

-24g = - 240

g = -240 / -24

g = 10 <=== the generator cost $ 10 per hr

6p + 6g = 90

6p + 6(10) = 90

6p + 60 = 90

6p = 90 - 60

6p = 30

p = 30/6

p = 5 <==== the power washer costs $ 5 per hr

check...

4p + 8g = 100

4(5) + 8(10) = 100

20 + 80 = 100

100 = 100 (correct)
