Answer:

y + 9 = $\frac{1}{5}$ (x + 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line

Here m = $\frac{1}{5}$ and (a, b) = (- 4, - 9) , thus

y - (- 9) = $\frac{1}{5}$ (x - (- 4) ) , that is

y + 9 = $\frac{1}{5}$ (x + 4)

Let X be the total number of guests
$\frac{1}{3} x + \frac{5x}{12} + 23 \\ \frac{12x + 15x + 828}{36} \\ \frac{17x + 828}{36}$
when X =1
(17+828)/36
845/36=23.5
am sorry but the question is not that clear
pls mark as brainliest

the ratio of students with bikes to students with scooters in the school is 85:51. What is the greatest common factor that you c

Vikentia [17]

Answer:GCF=17

To find the greatest common factor, or GCF, of the numbers, we first need to list the prime factors of both 85 and 51

52=3*17

85=5*17

17 is the sole common factor that these two numbers have in common, therefore 17 is the GCF.

To simplify the ratio, simply divide both numbers by 17.

85:51 becomes 5:3

Kylie is comparing the cost of two housekeeping companies, DoItRight and CleanIt. The table describes the costs for DoItRight.

abruzzese [7]

Answer:

First, find the cost function of DoItRight Housekeeping:

Slope(m) = cost per hour = $\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}=\frac{44-26}{3-1.5}=\frac{18}{1.5}=12$

The y-intercept(b), representing the initial cost, can be calculated by substituting in values to the function:

$f(x)=12x+b\\26=12(1.5)+b\\b=26-18=8$

Therefore, the function for two companies are:

The function for DoItRight is $f(x)=12x+8$
The function for CleanIt is $g(x)=10x+16$

When comparing the two functions, it's shown how CleanIt has a greater y-intercept than DoltRight, meaning that CleanIt has a greater initial cost than DotRight. The y-intercept is when the graph intercepts the y-axis, therefore, the coordinates there would be (0, y-value), which, in this case for CleanIt company, will be (0, 16). While CleanIt has a greater y-intercept(initial cost), DoItRight has a greater slope, meaning they cost more per hour.
