Answer:

y = -5x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The slope m = -5 and point (2, -9)

Use point slope form:

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁), where (x₁, y₁) is the given point

So the equation is:

y - (-9) = -5(x - 2)
y + 9 = -5x + 10
y = -5x + 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x= the number of pounds of the tropical taffy that should be used

You need to take the value of the Tropical Taffy + the value of the Passion Fruit taffy to = the value of Tropical Passion

value- price per pound times the number of pounds

Your equation is going to look like this-->

5.50x+6.25(100)=6(x+100)

5.50x+625=6x+600

-5.50x -5.50x

625=0.5x+600

-600 -600

25=0.5x

50=x

Hope this helps!

What is the difference of the fractions? Use the number line and equivalent fractions to help find the answer.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtracting a positive number moves you to the left on the number line. Subtracting a negative number moves you in the opposite direction, to the right.

Here, we start at -2 1/2 = -5/2, and we move 1 3/4 = 7/4 to the right from there. Each mark on this number line is 1/4 unit, so we move 7 marks. The results is ...

-2 1/2 -(-1 3/4) = -5/2 +7/4

= -10/4 +7/4 = -3/4
