We cannot solve for a numerical value of p, but rather set the equation equal to p.
w = 4/(p+2)
(Multiply both sides by the denominator)
w(p+2) = 4
(divide both sides by w)
p+2 = 4/w
(Subtract 2 from both sides) (also 2/1)
p = (4-2)/w
p = 2/w
Answer:
y = 3.5x - 12.5
Step-by-step explanation:
First, find the slope using rise over run (y2 - y1 / x2 - x1) with the 2 points:
(-2 - 5) / (3 - 5)
-7/-2
= 3.5
Then, plug the slope and a point into y = mx + b to solve for b:
y = mx + b
5 = 3.5(5) + b
5 = 17.5 + b
-12.5 = b
Plug the slope and the y intercept into the equation y = mx + b
y = 3.5x - 12.5 will be the equation
