Answer: y - 5 = 0(x - 1)
==================================================
Explanation:
Recall that point slope form in general is written as such
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
where,
m is the slope
(x1,y1) is the point the line goes through
The given equation y = 7 can be written as y = 0x+7. So we see that this line has a slope of m = 0
Plug m = 0 along with the given point (x1,y1) = (1,5) into the point slope equation and we get
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y - 5 = 0(x - 1)
which is the final answer
note: the equation in bold can be rearranged and simplified to get y = 5; however your teacher seems to want the answer in point-slope form, so we leave it as such.
Answer: 
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: Original length = 
inches
inches ( In improper fraction )
Length of piece cut from original = 
inches
inches ( In improper fraction )
Length of piece leftover piece = (Original length ) - (Length of piece cut )
Hence, the leftover piece will be long.
Answer:
The jelly beans cost $2.25 / pound
The trail mix costs $1.25 / pound
Step-by-step explanation:
Let +a+ = cost/pound of jelly beans
Let +b+ = cost/pound of trail mix
(1) 6a + 2b =16
(2) 3a + 5b =13
Multiply both sides by 2
and subtract (1) from (2)
(2) 6a -2b = -16
(1) -6a -2b = -16
8b=10
b=1.25
and
(1) 6a+2b=16
(1) +3a+b=8
(1) 3a+1.25=8
(1) +3a=6.75
(1) a=2.25
