Do cross multiplication.
Convert ounce to pound.
8 ounce is 0.5 lbs
x/0.5 = 17.95/1
x=8.975
Miss Lawrence spent about $8.98
The answer is b because there is a negative in the exponent and the number needs to be a single digit and 54 is double digit. hope this helps!
A) For the equation

, the slope is

.
Slope-intercept form is y = mx + b, where m is slope and b is the y-intercept. This means that if

, the slope is

.
B) Since this equation is in the same form, you just find what m is equal to.
Since

, that's the slope.
For the solution, set

equal to

, so it would be put together like this:
![y=[tex]- \frac{1}{2}x+3=2x-4\\ -\frac{1}{2}=2x-7\\ 1\frac{1}{2}x=-7\\ x=-4.66667](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=y%3D%5Btex%5D-%20%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7Dx%2B3%3D2x-4%5C%5C%20-%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%3D2x-7%5C%5C%201%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7Dx%3D-7%5C%5C%20x%3D-4.66667)
So your answer is
-4.667.
Given:
The table of values is
x y
-4 2
-3 5
-2 8
-1 11
To find:
The slope of the line that contains these points.
Solution:
From the given table consider any two point.
Let the line passes through the points (-4,2) and (-3,5). So, the equation of the line is




Using distributive property, we get



Therefore, the required equation of line is
.
