Answer:
-1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
at x=0 y= 5
at x=3 y= 4
y=ax+b
b= 5
4=3x+5
3x= -1
x= -1/3

In 2 2/3 months you ran 76 miles.
To know how many miles you ran each month, you can simply use cross multiplication as follows:
number of miles per month= (76) / (2 2/3)
= 28.5 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Distance between points (-7, 2) and (-2, 14) is 13
Unit cost of a ticket = Income from ticket sales / number of tickets sold:
$1250
--------------- = $6.58 per ticket
190 tickets
Again:
$1175
--------------- = $6.71
175 tickets
While ticket prices do change (usually increase) from year to year, it's unusual to see such a situation here.
Don't have any guidelines by which to determine the "fixed cost of a ticket".
If we use the cost of a ticket of 2 years ago ($6.58/ticket), then the income from the sale of 225 tickets this year would be ($6.58/ticket)(225 tickets), or $1480.50.
He is correct and incorrect. 2 and 4 can create factors but they can also be factors of other numbers. So 8 can be a factor of bigger whole numbers and can also have it own smaller factors.
