Y = -7x - 2
Use the two points given to find the slope (m)
m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
m = ( 12-5 ) / (-2 - (-1))
m = -7
Now we have y = -7x + b where 'b' is our y-intercept. We can solve for 'b' by choosing one of the (x,y) coordinate points and plugging them in.
Let's choose the point (-1,5). Plug -1 in for 'x' and 5 in for 'y' and solve for 'b'.
y = -7x + b
5 = -7(-1) + b
b = -2
Final eqn: y = -7x - 2
To solve this, you divide the price by the amount of ounces, and find the one which results in the smallest number. That was B, $4.29 for 12 ounces.
Hey there!
In order to find if a fraction would result in a repeating decimal, recall that a fraction is a division problem written vertically. All that you have to do is divide the numerator by the denominator. Also, remember that a repeating decimal will result in the same number after the decimal point as long as the calculator can handle.
3 ÷ 4 = 0.75
1 ÷ 9 = 0.11111111...
5 ÷ 11 = 0.45454545...
3 ÷ 0.42857143...
As you can see, two out of your four answer choices give you a repeating decimal. B gives you a repeated number of "1" while C gives you "45". D doesn't count since there is no pattern of repeated numbers that it follows.
Both B and C fall into the category of repeating decimal. If you're only able to choose one answer, I would ask your teacher, a parent, or a peer what they think.
Hope this helped you out! :-)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1) 4x + 3 <= 3x - 5
Subtract 3 from both sides
4x + 3-3 <= 3x - 5 -3
4x <= 3x - 8
Subtract 3x form both sides
4x - 3x <= 3x -3x - 8
x <= -8
