Answer:

y = (-1/5)x + 23/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Two points;

(-2,5) and (3,4)

Find:

Equation of slope

Computation:

y = mx + b

5 = m(-2) + b

5 = -2m + b .......... Eq1

4 = m(3) + b

4 = 3m + b .......... Eq2

Eq2 - Eq1

-1 = 5m

m = -1/5

5 = -2m + b

5 = -2(-1/5) + b

5 = 2/5 + b

b = 23/5

y = mx + b

y = (-1/5)x + 23/5

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Hello! The answer is definitely not C or D, because that's way too i God an increase for this type of setting. It increased by around 20%, because when 35 and 29 are divided and you multiply the decimal by 100, when you ignore the "1" at the front, it shows an approximate 20% increase. The answer is A.

. Here is an equation 2x + 9 = -15. Write three different equations that have the same solution as 2x + 9 = -15. Show or explain

Anettt [7]

Answer:

1. $x-3=-15$
2. $2x=-24$
3. $2x-3=-27$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following question:

$2x+9=-15$

To find three equations that have the same solution as the given equation we have to first solve the equation.

$2x+9=-15$
$9-9=0$
$-15-9=-24$
$2x=-24$
$2x\div2=x$
$-24\div2=-12$
$x=-12$

Equation one:
$x-3=-15$
$-3+3=0$
$-15+3=-12$
$x=-12$

Equation two:
 $2x=-24$
$2x\div2=x$
$-24\div2=-12$
$x=-12$

Equation three:
$2x-3=-27$
$-3+3=0$
$-27+3=-24$
$-24\div2=-12$
$x=-12$

Hope this helps.
