You first have to find the slope using the slope formula.  That looks like this with our values:  \frac{-2-(-1)}{5-(-3)}=- \frac{1}{8}.  So the slope is -1/8.  Use one of the points to first write the equation in y = mx + b form.  We have an x and a y to use from one of the points and we also have the slope we just found.  Filling in accordingly to solve for b gives us -2=5(- \frac{1}{8})+b  and  -2=- \frac{5}{8}+b.  Adding 5/8 to both sides and getting a common denominator gives us that  b=- \frac{11}{8}.  Writing our slope-intercept form we have y=- \frac{1}{8}x- \frac{11}{8}.  Standard form for a line is Ax + By = C...no fractions allowed.  So let's get rid of that 8 by multiplying each term by 8 to get 8y = -x - 11.  Add x to both sides to get it into the correct form:  x + 8y = -11

The number of chairs on a ski lift is inversely proportional to the distance between them a lift has 70 chairs when there’s spac
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

Space between 80 evenly spaced chairs = 21m

Step-by-step explanation:

So, according to the given statement, we have the following expression:

No. of chairs ∝ \frac{1}{Distance.Between.chairs}

70 chairs are 24m apart, so it can be written as:

70  ∝ \frac{1}{24}

For, 1 chair , we divide both sides by 70

\frac{70}{70} ∝ \frac{1}{24(70)}

1 ∝ \frac{1}{24 (70)}               -----------------------(Equation 1)

<u>For 80 chairs:</u>

Multiply both sides of <em>Equation.1</em> by 80

80  ∝ \frac{80}{24 (70)}      

80  ∝ \frac{1}{21}      

So according to the above relation,

<em>80 evenly spaced chairs will have a space of </em><em>21 m</em><em> between them.</em>
