Answer:

y = -2x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope-intercept form is writen like this; y = mx + b. Where m = slope and b = y-intercept.

We know the slope, so, find the y-intercept.

y = -2x + b

3 = -2(1) + b

3 = -2 + b

5 = b

Put everything we know/solved for into the original formula.

y = -2x + 5

Best of Luck!

trapecia [35]

The correct answer for the question that is being presented above is this one: "symmetric property." Symmetric Property has the property of a = b, then b = a. This property is one of the equivalent properties of equality.
m ABC = m CBD, then m CBD = m ABC.

Slope = 2/5; passes through (-3,1)

nydimaria [60]

Presumably we're after the line with that slope through that point. In general the line through $(a,b)$ with slope $m$ is

$y-b = m(x-a)$

Here we have $a=-3, b=1, m=\frac 2 5$

$y - 1 = \frac 2 5 (x--3)$

$y = \frac 2 5 x + \frac 6 5 + 1$

$y = \frac 2 5 x + \frac{11}{5}$

Check: The slope is clearly $\frac 2 5$
so we check

$y = \frac 2 5 (-3) +\frac{11}{5} = \frac 5 5 = 1 \quad\checkmark$

The price of an electronic puzzle was reduced be $7

Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

total price was reduced by $ 7

let x = the total price........ x - 7

he bought 10.....and it cost him $ 130

10(x - 7) = 130

10x - 70 = 130

10x = 130 + 70

10x = 200

x = 200/10

x = 20 <====== original price
