Answer: x = 2,340 homes without children

There are 2,340 homes without children.

Step-by-step explanation:

'x' represent the number of homes without children

'y' represent the number of homes with children

x : y = 9 : 7

Since the total number of homes is 4160 means x + y = 4160.

From x + y = 4160 follows y = 4160 - x.

Plug y = 4160 - x into x : y = 9 : 7

x : (4160 - x) = 9 : 7

The slope point equation of a line passing through the points (-3, -1) and (2, -6) is:
evablogger [386]

Answer:

y = -1x -4

Step-by-step explanation:

The point slope equation is y - y1 = m(x -x1).

You will have to plug in the points (-3, -1) and (2, -6).

y - (-1) = m (x - (-3))

To find "m", find y over x.

m = (y2 - y1) / ( x2 - x1)

m = (-6 + 1)/(2 + 3)

m = -5/5

m = -1

Then plug in "m"

y + 1 = -1(x + 3)

then distribute the "m" into the parenthesis and isolate y or subtract 1 from both sides.

y + 1 = -1x - 3

y = -1x -4
