ln 5
e              =    ?
                                    x
Keep in mind that y=e     and y = ln x are inverse functions of one another.
  ln 5
e       ,  we can drop both the "e" and the "ln 5."  We are left with 5 (answer).
                                                                                        ln 5
Alternatively, we could take the ln of both sides of y = e
which will result in ln y = (ln 5) ln e.  Note that ln e = 1 (these two functions are inverses of one another).
Then we are left with ln y = ln 5.  Dropping the "ln" operator from both sides,
y=5 (same as before).
        
             
        
        
        
2/9 is less than 2/5 because since the denominator is larger, the pieces are smaller. (Numerator)
        
                    
             
        
        
        
Answer:
<h2>
2x + 3y = 33 </h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
As we move from (-2, 5) to (1, 3), x increases by 3 and y decreases by 2.
Hence, the slope of this line is m = rise / run = -2/3.
Start with the slope-intercept form y = mx + b.
Substitute 3 for y and 1 for x and -2/3 for m:
3 = (-2/3)(1) + b.
Remove fractions by mult. all three terms by 3:
9 = -2 + b, so b = 11, and y = (-2/3)x + 11
Again, mult. all three terms by 3:
3y = -2x + 33, or, in standard form, 
<h2>
2x + 3y = 33 </h2>
 
        
             
        
        
        
So, put your "x's" together first and then your intercepts. That should answer your question :)
