Answer:

B) y - 4 = -8/7(x - 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Point-slope form is

$y-y_1= (x-x_1)$ , where m is the slope and (x₁, y₁) is a point on the line.

In our problem, m, our slope, is -8/7.

The point that our line passes through, (x₁, y₁), is (4, 4).

Plugging these in gives us

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

Y = mx + c

7= (-5)(-2)+ c

7= 10 +c

7-10=c

-3=c

Equation of the line: y = -5x-3

Sub in (a, 2)

2= - 5(a)-3

2+3= -5a

5= - 5a

1= - a

A = -1

Mr zambito buys a 3 1/2 - pound bag of dog food every 3 weeks mr zambito feeds his dog the same amount of dog food each day how

Murljashka [212]

3 1/2 pound = 7/2 pounds.
We know that the dog eats 7/2 (3.5) pounds every 21 days since there are 7 days in a week and Mr.Z only buys dog food every 3 weeks.

Set up a proportion. 3.5 lb = x 
 21 days 365 days

Cross multiply and divide. 3.5 lb x 365 days = 1277.5 / 21 days = 60.83 lb

Use the compass and ruler to construct the perpendicular bisector of a line segment AB

Svetllana [295]

Place the compass at one point and extend it halfway through the segment and draw an arc. Then use the same setting on the compass to draw another arc from point B. Then, use the ruler and the pencil to draw a line through the two points of intersection of the arcs. that is the perpendicular bisector. Hope this helps!
