Answer:

17/50.

Step-by-step explanation:

If we convert 3 2/5 into an improper fraction, we get 17/5.

If you don't read the question carefully, it's easy to think that the answer would be 17/5 ÷ 9. However, this is wrong.

The question says "her AND her 9 friends," so there are 9+1=10 people total.

Thus, the answer would be

17/5 ÷ 10 = 17/5 * 1/10 = 17/50.

What is the equation in point slope form of a line that passes through the point (–8, 2) and has a slope of 1/2?

Kamila [148]

Point slope equation:
y-y1=m(x-x1)
m=slope

So we simply plug in our given information:
x1=-8
y1=2
m=1/2

y-2=1/2(x-(-8)

2 minus signs next to each other make a positive

Final answer:
y-2=1/2(x+8)

Write the equation of the line in fully simplified slope-intercept form.

fiasKO [112]

$y = -\frac{1}{2}x - 1$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's pick two points on the line: $P_1(-4, 1)$ and $P_2(2, -2).$ Let's calculate the slope of this line using these points:

$m = \dfrac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \dfrac{-2 - 1}{2 - (-4)} = -\dfrac{1}{2}$

With this value of the slope, we can write the general slope-intercept form of the equation as

$y = -\frac{1}{2}x + b$

To solve for the y-intercept b, let's use either P1 or P2. I'm going to use P2:

$-2 = -\frac{1}{2}(2) + b \Rightarrow b = -1$

Therefore, the slope-intercept form of the equation is

$y = -\frac{1}{2}x - 1$
