Answer:

y=5/3x+7/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Here are the points: (1,4) and (-2, -1)

let's first find the slope, which is with the equation m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1) (m is the slope)

label the points:

x1=1

y1=4

x2=-2

y2=-1

now subsitute into the equation

m=(-1-4)/(-2-1)

m=-5/-3

m=5/3

the slope of the line 5/3

Here's the equation so far:

y=5/3x+b (b is a place holder)

we can substitute either one of the points into the equation so far to find b, because the line will pass through both of them>

let's use (1,4) as an example

4=5/3(1)+b

4=5/3+b

subtract 5/3 from both sides

7/3=b

Now, put it all together:

y=5/3x+7/3

Hope this helps!

Jason wants to cut a rope that is 60 feet long into several equal pieces with nothing left over. How many pieces will he have if
ale4655 [162]

Answer:

2 pieces, 30ft each

Step-by-step explanation:

rope : 60ft long

we are trying to figure out how many equal pieces we can cut the rope into with the length of each piece to be the greatest possible integer:

if jason wants the length of rope to be the longest than the answer is 2, if he divides the length of 60 by 2, each piece will be 30 feet long. If he divides the rope by any number larger, each piece will be shorter than 30 feet, and he wants the piece to be the largest possible length.

Decreasing by $52 every year, we need to subtract 52 for each year. 

350 is the original price. 
52x is the amount decreased by how many years

350 - 52(3) = ?
350-156 = 194
