Father is four times as old as Mary. Five years ago he was seven times as old. How old is the father now?

1 answer:

7 0

Answer:

If Father is four times older than Mary, that would be 4 times 10-- which equals 40. Five years ago, Mary must have been 5 years old. So, multiply 7 and 5 and you'll get 35! Father would have been 35 years old.

I hope this helps!

Answer:

there are no options listed, but some statements that are true about this question are:

total perimeter = (8.5 x 2) + (5.5 x 2) = 28 feet = 9¹/₃ yards
since Shelley purchased 10 yards of ribbon, it should be enough
after finishing the blanket, Shelley will have 2 feet of ribbon left

Write in slope-intercept form an equation of the line that passes through the points (−1,12) and (1,2).

zzz [600]

Answer:

$y=-5x+7$

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the slope

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

$m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

we have

the points (−1,12) and (1,2)

substitute

$m=\frac{2-12}{1+1}$

$m=\frac{-10}{2}$

$m=-5$

step 2

we know that

The equation of the line in slope intercept form is equl to

$y=mx+b$

where

m is the slope

b is the y-intercept

we have

$m=-5$

$point\ (1,2)$

substitute in the linear equation and solve for b

$2=-5(1)+b$

$b=2+5=7$

therefore

$y=-5x+7$
