Answer:

7x +18y = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope is ...

m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)

m = (-2/3 -1/2)/(1 -(-2)) = (-7/6)/(3) = -7/18

The y-intercept is ...

b = y -mx

b = 1/2 -(-7/18)(-2) = 1/2 -7/9 = -5/18

Then the slope-intercept form of the equation is ...

y = -7/18x -5/18

Multiplying by 18 and adding the opposite of the x-term gives the equation in standard form. The standard form equation is ...

7x +18y = -5

Answer:

$\frac{5}{6}$ cups

Step-by-step explanation:

Normally, when working with mixed numbers, I would prefer to turn them into improper fractions first before evaluating.

1 $\frac{1}{2}$ cookies --- $\frac{1}{2}$ cup plain yogurt

$\frac{3}{2}$ cookies --- $\frac{1}{2}$ cup plain yogurt

2 $\frac{1}{2}$ cookies --- ? cup plain yogurt

$\frac{5}{2}$ cookies --- $\frac{5}{3}$ × $\frac{1}{2}$ cup plain yogurt = $\frac{5}{6}$ cups plain yogurt

From 2004 to 2014, the amount of money invested in renewable energy worldwide increased from $39.5 billion to $214.4 billion.

Take 214.4 and divide by 39.5. You end up with 5.47278487. Since we are talking percent, multiply that answer by 100 and round to the nearest tenth which gives us 542.70 or 542.8%. Pretty sure that is your answer

Answer:

MP = 26

Step-by-step explanation:

if we say that MN = x

here we have

$\frac{4}{9}=\frac{x}{18}\\\\18[\frac{4}{9}]=18[\frac{x}{18}]\\\\2\cdot 4=x\\\\x=8$

and MP = MN + NP

$MP = x+18\\\\MP = 8+18\\\\MP = 26$
