Answer:
Y = -X - 7
Step-by-step explanation:
y-y1 =m(x-x1)
y-(-2)= -1(x-(-5)
y+2 = -1(x+5)
Solve for y
subtract 2 from both sides
y=-x-5-2
Y = -x-7
Answer:
9s+11
Step-by-step explanation:
Combine like terms → (7s+2s and 2+9 = 9s and 11) and boom
Add the 2 coefficients because they are considered like terms.
Your answer should be 25b to the 4th
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
We are asked to find the slope of a line. The slope tells us the steepness and direction of a line. It is found by dividing the change in y by the change in x.


In this formula, (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) are the points the line passes through. We are given the points (-6, 11) and (15,20). If we match a value with its corresponding variable, we see that:
- x₁ = -6
- y₁ = 11
- x₂ = 15
- y₂ = 20
Substitute the values into the formula.

Solve the numerator.

Solve the denominator. 2 back to back negative signs become a positive sign.


Simplify the fraction. 3 divides evenly into the numerator and denominator.


The slope of the line is <u>3/7.</u>
So the train is pulling about 50 cars in total, and there's about 30 boxes of freight in each car.
30 x 50 = 1500
The best estimate would be near 1500 boxes of freight through the whole train.
