The first thing I would probably do is distribute (multiply) the -5/2 into the parenthesis:
= (-5/2)x + (-20/2)
Notice how I am not putting the x into the fraction. This is to make it easier to see the slope-intercept form.
Lets simplify the (-20/2) and then add 7 to both sides:
y - 7 = (-5/2)x - 10
y = (-5/2)x - 3
Your answer would then be:
y = (-5/2)x - 3
y = mx + b
Since it is now in the requested format.
Answer: Your friends it farther away from school, because 1030 meters converted to km is 1.030 km which is smaller and closer than 1.5 km which further away
Step-by-step explanation: convert 1.030km to 1.5km
So, honestly if its allowed you can just graph the equation ti prove the y intercept is five
Answer: 400.3
Step-by-step explanation:
9(x - 4) = 9x - 33
9x - 36 = 9x - 33
9x - 9x = -33 + 36
0 = 3...(incorrect)....no solutions
