I'm going to use the substitution method.
If y = - 3/2 - 7, then:
1/2x + 5 = - 3/2x - 7
Combine like terms:
4/2x = - 12. Mutiply both sides by 2/4 to get x = -12 (2/4)
Simplify to get:
x = - 6.
Plug - 6 back in for x in either equation.
Y = 1/2( - 6) + 5 which becomes Y = - 3 + 5.
X = - 6, Y = 2
So what you will have to do is 45 alla you have to do is multiple
Hello there! :)

It's rational
it's an integer
Hope it helps!

Answer:
Y= 1.5x
Step-by-step explanation:
What you would do is divide all of the minutes by the amount of pages to find how long for each rate for one page. (ex. 18/12, Michael reads 1 page in 1.5 minutes. 12/8, Michael reads 1 page in 1.5 minutes. 30/20, Michael reads one page in 1.5 minutes) Therefore, yes it is proportional, and the equation is y=1.5x (there is no y intercept)
I hope this will help
