As an improper fraction it would be -1 1/2
The relationship between x and y is represent as:
Since, the relationship is linear.
The standard form of equation of line is:

Consider any two set x and y values from the given relationship.
Let (-2, 10) and (-1,7.5)


The equation of the linear relationship between x and y is:
y = -2.5(x + 2) + 10
Now, to check that the point (9, -17.5) lies on the represented relationship between x and y
Substitute x = 9 and y = -17.5 in the equation y = -2.5(x + 2) + 10
y = -2.5(x + 2) + 10
-17.5 = -2.5(9 + 2) + 10
-17.5 = -2.5(11) + 10
-17.5 = -27.5 + 10
-17.5 = -17.5
Thus, LHS = RHS
Hence the point (9, -17.5) lie on the given linear relationship between x and y.
Answer: The point (9, -17.5) lie on the given linear relationship between x and y.
I will help you on two conditions: 1) that you never again call yourself "stupid," and that you ask no more than 1 or 2 questions per post.
I'll focus on #5. Recall that distance = rate times time: d = r*t.
You want distance and are given rate and time: rate 1.8 km/min; time 48 min.
I see you write "distance" next to "1.8 km;" that is not correct, because
the problem states that "the rate is 1.8 km per minute." 1.8 km is a distance; 1.8 km / min is not (it's a rate).
So, again, to find the distance traveled, mult. the rate by the elapsed time:
distance = (1.8 km/min)(48 min) = 86.4 km, or about 54 miles.
