Answer:

The equation of the line is y = -7/8x + 11/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have the slope and a point to start, we can use point-slope form to find the equation.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

Use the slope for m and the point at (x1, y1). Then solve for y.

y - 9 = -7/8(x + 4)

y - 9 = -7/8x - 7/2

y = -7/8x + 11/2

ANSWER

The correct answer is D.

$\sum_{n=1} ^{6} (n - 3) = ( - 2) + ( - 1) + (0) + (1) + (2) + (3) = 3$

EXPLANATION

The given expression is

$\sum_{n=1} ^{6} (n - 3)$

The symbol means summation.

So we need to substitute

$n=1,n=2,n=3,n=4,n=5, \:and\:n=6$

into the formula and add all to get,

$\sum_{n=1} ^{6} (n - 3) = (1 - 3) + (2 - 3) + (3- 3) + (4 - 3) + (5 - 3) + (6 - 3)$

We simplify to obtain,

$\sum_{n=1} ^{6} (n - 3) = ( - 2) + ( - 1) + (0) + (1) + (2) + (3) = 3$

The correct answer is D

Answer:

B. 6.2

Step-by-step explanation:

$5(5 + x) = 4(4 + 10) \\ \\ 25 + 5x = 4(14) \\ \\ 25 + 5x = 56 \\ \\ 5x = 56 - 25 \\ \\ 5x = 31 \\ \\ x = \frac{31}{5} \\ \\ x = 6.2$
