Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope m = 5/6

The points (-2,1)

So; y1 = 1 and x1 = -2

The equation is y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 1 = 5/6(x + 2)

Multiply each term by 6

6y - 6 = 5(x + 2)

6y - 6 = 5x + 10

6y = 5x + 10 + 6

6y = 5x + 16

- 5x + 6y = 16

Multiplying by minus

5x - 6y = -16

Answer:

5x - 6y = -16

Step-by-step explanation:

5/6 = (y - 1)/(x - 2)

cross multiplying,

5x + 10 = 6y - 6

5x - 6y = -16

Ian has 120 folders to file. So far, he has filed 36 of the folders. What percent of the folders does he have left to file?

balandron [24]

120-36 = 84 <==== what he has left

84/120×100% = percentage of what he has left
70% = percentage aka answer.

What is the measure of RSP in the diagram below

kirill [66]

The answer would be 58 degrees. You have to add the measure of R and P, and since a triangle is a total of 180 degrees, you subtract the sum and R and P from 180 and get your answer. Hope this helps!
