Answer:

$\large\boxed{B.\ y-3=-5(x-6)}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The point-slope form of an equation of a line:

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

m - slope

(x₁, y₁) - point

We have the slope m = -5 and the point (6, 3). Substitute:

$y-3=-5(x-6)$

Jordan will hike the trail shown at a rate of mi/h. Write a linear equation to represent the distance Jordan still has to walk

agasfer [191]

Answer:

y = (-mi/h)x + b

y = total distance left to cover

-mi/h = speed at wich he is covering ground

b = the total distance to cover from start to finish

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope Intercept form without other variables filled is shown like this with mx being the slope and b being the y intercept

y = mx + b

all we need to do is fill in known variables with hours multiplied by x represented as m...

y = (-mi/h)x + b

note the negative symbol, this shows that the higher that miles an hour (mi/h) aka speed is, the more distance he will cover REDUCING the distance to cover faster meaning the line will slope DOWNWARD

b would be the the total distance that he has started with, meaning on the point where the line crosses the y axis, the number it crosses at will represent how much he has started with

You bought groceries last week. You used coupons and saved 25% on your grocery bill. You saved $8.80. How much was your bill bef

QveST [7]

Answer:

$35.2

Step-by-step explanation:

% saved = 25%

Money saved = $8.80

Let x be the bill before the coupon discount.

25/100 × x = 8.80

x = $35.2
