Answer:

y = -1/2 x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx + b

m = slope = -1/2

y = -1/2 x + b

-7 = -1/2 * 4 + b

-7 = -2 + b

b = -5

y = -1/2 x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

y = -0.5x + c

When x = 4, y = -7.

=> (-7) = -0.5(4) + c, c = -5.

Therefore the equation is y = -0.5x - 5.

A changes saved Set up a proportion and use it to solve for x. 2 10 х 3

V125BC [204]

Answer:

C. 15

Step-by-step explanation:

The following proportional can be set-up for the figure given:

$\frac{x + 3}{x} = \frac{10 + 2}{10}$

Solve for x

$\frac{x + 3}{x} = \frac{12}{10}$

$\frac{x + 3}{x} = \frac{6}{5}$

Cross multiply

$5(x + 3) = x(6)$

$5x + 15 = 6x$

15 = 6x - 5x

15 = x

x = 15

Answer:

3.5/1 (or just 3.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

If y = a/n, then the constant proportionality is 3.5/1 or 7/2

Think of this as "rise over run" (we are basically finding the slope)
