Answer:

y = 2x - 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Looks like we already have the slope of this line: It is 2. Working with the point (1, -5), we have x = 1 and y = -5 and can from this info easily find the y-intercept, b:

y = mx + b becomes

y = 2x + b, which in turn becomes

-5 = 2(1) + b, or

b = -7,

and so the desired equation is y = 2x - 7

<h2>Answer: </h2>

59,425 sq mi

<h2>Step-by-step explanation: </h2>

When you want to round to the units place, you look at the digit in the number that is in the place to the right of that: the tenths place. Here, that digit is 7, which is more than 4. Because that digit is more than 4, 1 is added to the units place and all the digits to the right of that are dropped.

This gives you 59,424 +1 = 59,425.

If the tenths digit were 4 or less, no change would be made to values in the units place or to the left of that. The tenths digit and digits to the right would be dropped.

... 59,424.3 ⇒ 59,424 . . . . . for example
