Answer:

y = (4/5)x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

First we must find the slope. This is calculated by dividing the difference of the y-coordinates by the difference of the x-coordinates.

Δ y-coordinates: 2 - (-6) = 2 + 6 = 8

Δ x-coordinates: 5 - (-5) = 5 + 5 = 10

slope = m = 8/10 = 4/5

Now, we can write the line in slope-intercept form: y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Choose (5, 2) (or you can use (-5, -6); it should get you the same answer) to plug into the equation to solve for b:

y = mx + b

2 = (4/5) * 5 + b

b = 2 - 4 = -2

Thus, our equation is y = (4/5)x - 2.

A cafe sells puffs. 5/9 are beef and 1/3 are chicken. The remaining 18 are tuna. Calculate 1. What fraction of the puffs are tun
Ksivusya [100]
Let n be the total number of puffs. Now we can write:
n=\frac{5}{9}n+\frac{1}{3}n+18
Adding the fractional value of n, we get:
n=\frac{5+3}{9}n+18
Simplifying and rearranging gives us:
n-\frac{8}{9}n=18
Therefore we can simplify to get:
\frac{1}{9}n=18
and finally
n=18\times9=?
The fraction of the puff that are tuna is found from:
\frac{18}{18\times9}=\frac{1}{9}

Plz Help!!!! <br>Solve for x<br>3y = 4x+ 1 ​
astraxan [27]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

STEPS FOR SOLVING LINEAR EQUATION

3y=4x+1

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

4x+1=3y

Subtract 1 from both sides.

4x=3y−1

Divide both sides by 4.

4

4x

​

=  

4

3y−1

​

 

Dividing by 4 undoes the multiplication by 4.

x=  

4

3y−1
