Answer:
y = x - 4
Step-by-step explanation:
The line passes through (-1,-5) and (-3,-7)
The slope of a line is given by; change in y ÷ change in x
i.e slope = 
= 
= 1
Taking another point (x,y) on the line.
Slope will be; 
= 1
Cross multiplying gives; y + 5 = x + 1
Simplifying this equation gives us the equation of our line which is;
y = x - 4
Answer:
9
Step-by-step explanation:
The wall area is the product of the room perimeter and the room height:
A₁ = (2*(12.5 ft + 10.5 ft))*(8.0 ft) = 368 ft²
The window and door area together is
A₂ = 2*((4 ft)*(3 ft)) + (7 ft)*(3 ft) = 45 ft²
The area of one roll of wallpaper is
A₃ = (2.5 ft)*(30 ft) = 75 ft²
Then the number of rolls of wallpaper required will be
1.1*(A₁ - A₂)/A₃ ≈ 4.74
5 rolls of wallpaper should be purchased.
_____
As a practical matter, not much of the window and door area can be saved. The rolls are 30 inches wide, but the openings are 36 inches wide. Some will likely have to be cut from two strips. The strips will have to be the full length of the wall, and the amount cut likely cannot be used elsewhere. If the window and door area cannot be salvaged, then likely ceiling(5.4) = 6 rolls will be needed (still allowing 10% for matching and waste).
5,500 days or what? I don't get it
