17.
The point-slope form:

We have slope=m=8, and the point (-5, -3). Substitute:

18.
The formula of a slope:

We have the points (3, 4) and (15, 10). Substitute:

The point-slope form:

or

 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
4/9
Step-by-step explanation:
1/3 divided by 3/4
find the reciprocal of 3/4
reciprocal of 3/4 = 4/3
multiply 1/3 x 4/3 which is 4/9
 
        
             
        
        
        
So 
Jon's age=j
mary age=m
m+j=27
m+2 times j=40
m+2j=40
M+j=27
ssubtract j from both sides
m=27-j
subsitute 27-j for m
27-j+2j=40
27+j=40
subtract 27 fromboth sdies
j=13
subsitue
13+m=27
subtract 13
m=14
mary=14
john=13
