Answer:

y - 3 = -10 (x-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The point-slope formula is y-y_1 = m (x-x_1). When knowing the slope of a line and a point it intersects, we can write its equation with that formula. Substitute m, x_1, and y_1 for real values.

1) First, find m, or the slope. Use the slope formula m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} and substitute the x and y values of the given points. Then, solve:

m = \frac{(-7)-(3)}{(3)-(2)} \\m = \frac{-7-3}{3-2} \\m = \frac{-10}{1} \\m = -10

Therefore, the slope of the line is -10.

2) Now, substitute the needed real values into the point-slope formula, y-y_1 = m (x-x_1). Since m represents the slope, substitute -10 in its place. Since x_1 and y_1 represent the x and y values of a point the line crosses, choose any of the points given and substitute its values into the formula. (Either one is fine, they both equal the same thing. I chose (2,3).) This will give the following answer and equation:

y - 3 = -10 (x-2)

azamat

Answer:

  15

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of algebra problems. Then the number of geometry problems was 27-x and the total working time was ...

  2x +5(27 -x) = 90

  -3x = 90 -135 . . . . subtract 135

  x = -45/-3 = 15 . . . divide by -3

REY [17]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

The answer is 25 minutes

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

As we see the median time given in minutes before the installation was 53 minutes and after the installation it became 28 so by taking the difference which is 53 - 28 gives us 25 minutes.
