Y = mx + b.....the m is for the slope , (2,-4)...x = 2 and y = -4
now we sub
-4 = 3/5(2) + b
-4 = 6/5 + b
-4 - 6/5 = b
-20/5 - 6/5 = b
- 26/5 = b
so ur equation is : y = 3/5x - 26/5 <== slope intercept form
or if u need it in standard form :
y = 3/5x - 26/5....(5)
5y = 3x - 26
-3x + 5y = -26...(-1)
3x - 5y = 26 <==standard form
Answer: The cats cost more
also there is a typo
Step-by-step explanation:
I bought 1 dog and 3 cats a total cost of $7.75. the three cats cost more so in all the cats must cost 3.56$
Shortest side (a) = 58
middle side (b) = 64
longest side (c) = 77
the 3 sides a + b + c = 199
b = a + 6
c = a + 19
substitute your new values for b & c into your original formula, so:
a + (a+6) + (a+19) = 199
3a + 25 = 199
3a = 174
a = 58
then substitute 58 into your b & c formulas to figure out the rest
b = a + 6 = 58 + 6 = 64
c = a + 19 = 58 + 19 = 77
-5 because it is closest to zero and -17 is farther than zero on a number line :) <span />
