Answer:

300 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original amount = x

x - 2/5x  was what his mother's share looked.

5/5 x - 2/5 x

3/5x is what is left.

3/5 x - 1/4 * 3/5 x - 2/3x * 3/5 = his sister's share and his brothers

3/5x - 1/4*3/5 x - 2/3 * 3/5 = 15

3/5x * (1 - 1/4 - 2/3) = 15

3/5 x 5/60 = 15

15 / 300 * x = 15

1/20  x = 15

x = 15 * 20

x = 300

Write an equation of the line that passes through the given point and has the given slope.
Minchanka [31]

Answer:

y = -x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a linear graph is y = mx + b

you know the m = -1

so now the equation is y = -x + b

from here, what you could do to find b is...

plug (-1, -3) into the equation

1) x = -1, y = -3

2) -3 = -(-1)  + b

3) -3 = 1 + b

4) -4 = b

or you can look at the y-intercept which is where the line intersects with the y-axis

it seems to be (0, -4)

so "b" would be equal to -4

this makes the final equation y = -x + (-4) or y = -x - 4
