Answer:

We have a slope and a point, this way, we do not need to find the slope using two points. We can find the line using the Slope Form to turn it into Slope-Intercept Form, also known as "y = mx + b". We can use the Slope Form which is "y - y1 = m(x - x1)". A coordinate is "(x,y)", so that means, "(-1,4)" means that x = -1 and y = 4. We can substitute y1 for 4 and x1 for -1, and m for -5 since m is the slope. Plugging that information into the Slope Form Formula we get "y - 4 = -5(x - (-1))". We know that a negative with a negative turn positive, so we can use this information to change the formula to "y - 4 = -5(x + 1)". Now we distribute and simplify, these steps are shown below.

y - 4 = -5(x + 1)

y - 4 = -5x -5

y - 4 + 4 = -5x - 5 + 4

y = -5x - 1

Now that we have simplified it, we can see that the slope is -5 and the -1 is the y-intercept. To check this is a linear equation is to graph it, or substitute three x-coordinate or y-coordinates and draw a line. In conclusion, the equations is y = -5x - 1.

A football stadium holds 52,000 fans. A college student is doing research and determines that on any given game day, the home te
docker41 [41]
This problem is asking us to make an algebraic equation or representation of the situation. First we have to assign the variables which is already given in the problem. H is the number of the home team and V is the visiting team. Since the problem states there are the home team has five times as manyfans as the visiting team, then it can be represented as: 

H = 5V
Also, H + V = 52,000. H and V can then be solves by solving the 2 equations simultaneously. The results are 43,333 and 8,667.

max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

d = r * t

r = 50 mph

this will be very easy.

d = r * t

r = 50 mph

t = 5 hours

d = 250 miles

In five hours at a constant speed of 50 miles per hour, you would have traveled 250 miles.t = 5 hours

d = 250 miles

In five hours at a constant speed of 50 miles per hour, you would have traveled 250 miles.
