(-4,1) if I get it wrong I tread
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope-intercept form of an equation of a line:
m - slope
b - y-intercept
We have the slope m = -1/5. Substitute:
Put the coordinates of the given point (-3, 7) to the equation:
<em>subtract 3/5 from both sides</em>
The equation would be 63500-700x=P, where 63500 is the original population, -700 is the amount the population decreases each year, x is the number of years, and P is the total population.
To answer the second part of the question, plug in 53000 for P and solve for x:
63500-700x=53000
<em>*Subtract 63500 from both sides*</em>
-700x=-10500
<em>*Divide both sides by -700*</em>
x=15
It would take 15 years for the population to drop to 53000.
Hope this helps!!
I think you just divide the number of miles by the number of hours he spent driving.
2,482/42.5= 58.4
58mph
