1,203,567,489 one billion two hundred three million five hundred sixty-seven thousand four hundred eighty-nine
Answer:
11.43 per hour
Step-by-step explanation:
422.79/37=11.43
10book=30mins
divide 10
1book=3mins
time=(time to read 1 book) times (number of books)
time to read 1 book=3 mins
15 books
15 books=15 times 3mins
15books=45mins
45 mins
In "slope-intercept form"
y = mx +b
the value "m" is called the slope, and the value "b" is called the intercept.
There is another form for the equation of a line, called "point-slope form".
y = m(x -h) +k
where m is still the slope and (h, k) correspond to the (x, y) of the point.
If you write the equation of your line in this "point-slope form", it is easily manipulated to be in the "slope-intercept form".
Fill in
m = (-3/5)
h = -4
k = 0
y = (-3/5)(x -(-4)) +0
Now, you simplify this by using the distributive property.
y = (-3/5)x -(3/5)*4
y = (-3/5)x -12/5 . . . . . . . . . the desired equation

Your understanding of math improves immensely when you become familiar with the terminology. A lot of the rest of it is pattern matching--identifying the parts of one expression that correspond to the parts of another one.
(You will see another version of the "point-slope form", but I find this one the easiest to use for manipulating the equation to other forms.)
$1.75 per pound of apples, 10 apples can be purchased for $17.50 because you divide 17.50 by 1.75 since that is your unit rate per pound.
