Answer:
1200 students at the school
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the total number of students at the school
50% ride the bus
600 students ride the bus
x*50% = 600
Changing to decimal form
.50x = 600
Divide each side by .5
.50x/.5 = 600/.5
x =1200
1200 students at the school
We know the slope is -1, because perpendicular line's slopes are always the negative reciprocal. We plug (5, -3) in to get:
-3 = -5 + b
b = 2
So we get C. y = -x + 2.

What do you mean? You deposited $50 didn’t you? HUuH
Slope intercept form is y = mx + b
So if you start with 9x - 7y = -7, the first thing you need to do is move the 9x to the other side of the equation by subtracting it from both sides.
9x - 7y = -7
-9x -9x
Now you have -7y = -9x -7
For the equation to be in slope intercept form now you should divide every term by the number in front of your y. In this case divide every term by -7
-<u>7y</u> = <u>-9x</u> <u>-7</u>
-7 -7 -7
That leaves you with: y = 9x/7 + 1
