Answer:
b. slope: -5; y-intercept: 7
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the equation:
y + 5x = 7
To find the slope and y-intercept of the line, it would be helpful to get the equation into slope-intercept form. The slope-intercept form of a line is:
y = mx + b
where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
Lets get the given equation into slope-intercept form.
y + 5x = 7
Subtract 5x from both sides.
y = -5x + 7
Now we have the equation in slope-intercept form. By looking at the equation, we can see that the slope is -5 and that the y-intercept is 7.
The correct answer choice would be b.
I hope you find my answer and explanation to be helpful. Happy studying.
Geometric series are in the form of

Where a is the first term and r is the common ratio .
And it is given that




r=-3,2
So the first five terms are

= 2-6+18-54+162 or 2+4+8+16+32
= 122 or 62
A) If 9 students sharpen 18 pencils in 2 minutes,Then if the time is halved, it will take twice as many men to sharpen 18 pencils.Hence it will take 18 students to sharpen 18 pencils in one minute B) y & 1/x. Then y = K/x where K is our constant of proportionality.Then K = yx. When x = -64 and y = -16 then K = -64 * -16 = 1024. Option DC) When x = 3 y = 8. So for an inverse variation K as calculated from B = 3 * 8 = 24.Then when K = 24 and y = 6; we have 24 = 6x. Hence x = 4. Option A
<h2><u>Part A:</u></h2>
Let's denote no of seats in first row with r1 , second row with r2.....and so on.
r1=5
Since next row will have 10 additional row each time when we move to next row,
So,
r2=5+10=15
r3=15+10=25
<u>Using the terms r1,r2 and r3 , we can find explicit formula</u>
r1=5=5+0=5+0×10=5+(1-1)×10
r2=15=5+10=5+(2-1)×10
r3=25=5+20=5+(3-1)×10
<u>So for nth row,</u>
rn=5+(n-1)×10
Since 5=r1 and 10=common difference (d)
rn=r1+(n-1)d
Since 'a' is a convention term for 1st term,
<h3>
<u>⇒</u><u>rn=a+(n-1)d</u></h3>
which is an explicit formula to find no of seats in any given row.
<h2><u>Part B:</u></h2>
Using above explicit formula, we can calculate no of seats in 7th row,
r7=5+(7-1)×10
r7=5+(7-1)×10 =5+6×10
r7=5+(7-1)×10 =5+6×10 =65
which is the no of seats in 7th row.
Let the number of pages read on day 1 be = x
Then on day 2 he read twice the pages from day one, it is = 2x
On 3rd day he read 6 pages less than 1st day, it is = x-6
Total pages are = 458
The equation becomes: 



So on the third day, Aiden read
pages.
