oee [108]

The point-slope form:

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

We have the point (4, -6) and the slope m = 3/5. Substitute:

$y-(-6)=\dfrac{3}{5}(x-4)\\\\\boxed{y+6=\dfrac{3}{5}(x-4)}$

The table shows how the number of sit-ups marla does each day has changed over time. at this rate how many sit-ups will she do o

DENIUS [597]

The number of situps form an AP with first term (a) = 17 and common difference (d) = 4

Tn = a + (n - 1)d
T12 = 17 + (12 - 1) x 4 = 17 + 11(4) = 17 + 44 = 61

Therefore, she will do 61 situps on day 12.

Hello! In order to understand this question, we need to take a look at the content that is involved.

Lupita pays $40.03 in total. Meaning that's where we are going to start if we want to find out how many miles her ride was. Since the taxi charges a flat rate of $6.75. We would want to subtract it from her total value because we only work with that flat rate once. Which ends up giving us $33.28. From there, we don't need to worry about the flat rate anymore and we now focus on the mileage. If it costs $3.20 per mile, then we can simply divide the amount after to flat rate by the cost per mile, to figure out how many miles she has gone. In the end, you will get 10.4 miles.
