Answer:

  5x -y = -37

Step-by-step explanation:

One way to find the coefficients A and B is to use the differences of the x- and y-coordinates:

  A = Δy = y2 -y1 = 2 -(-3) = 5

  B = -Δx = -(x2 -x1) = -(-7 -(-8)) = -1

Then the constant C can be found using either point.

  5x -y = 5(-7) -2 = -37

The equation of the line is ...

  5x -y = -37

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

This approach comes from the fact that the slope of a line is the same everywhere.

  \dfrac{y-y_1}{x-x_1}=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\dfrac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}\\\\\Delta x(y-y_1)=\Delta y(x-x_1)\qquad\text{cross multiply}\\\\\Delta y(x-x_1)-\Delta x(y-y_1)=0\qquad\text{subtract y term}\\\\\Delta y(x) -\Delta x(y) = \Delta y(x_1)-\Delta x(y_1)\qquad\text{Ax+By=C form}

The "standard form" requires that A be positive, so we chose point 1 and point 2 to make sure that was the case.

Beulah used 3/5 pounds of dough, 3/4 pound of sugar, &amp; 2/3 pounds of sprinkles to make donuts. How many pounds of donuts did
andre [41]

Number of pounds of dough used = 3/5 pounds.

Number of pounds of sugar used = 3/4 pounds

Number of pounds of sprinkles used = 2/3 pounds.

Total number of pounds of donuts = Number of pounds of dough used + Number of pounds of sugar used + Number of pounds of sprinkles used.

Plugging values.

Total number of pounds of donuts = 3/5 + 3/4 + 2/3.

We need to add all those fractions.

In order to add fracions, we need to find common denominator (lcd).

We have 5,4 and 3 in denominators.

Least common denominator(lcd) of 5, 4 and 3 is 60.

We need to make each denominator equals 60.

Multiplying first fracion by 12 in top and bottom, we get

3*12/5*12 = 36/60

Multiplying first fracion by 5 in top and bottom, we get

3*15/4*15 = 45/60

Multiplying first fracion by 20 in top and bottom, we get

2*20/3*20 = 40/60.

Therefore,

3/5 + 3/4 + 2/3 = 36/60 + 45/60 + 40/60

               =  121/60

Let us convert 121/60 into mixed fraction.

Dividing 121 by 60 we get quotient =2 and remainder =1.

So, the mixed fraction is 2 1/60.

Therefore, Beulah made total 2 1/60 pounds of donuts.
