Answer:

y = -2.5 x + 6.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope-intercept form is written as

y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

a) We can find the slope of the line passing through (-1,30 and (-4, 5) by subtracting the y coordinates and dividing the difference by the difference if the x coordinates:

m = (5 - 3 )  = 2

     -4 - (-1)    -3

Now use this slope and substitute the coordinates of either of the given points to find the y-intercept, b . Let's use (-1,3):

y = mx + b

3 = -2 • -1 + b

3

3= 2 + b

3

7  = b

3

The equation of the line will be y = -2 x +  7

3 3

b) Using y = mx + b, we can substitute -2.5 for the slope and use the point to find the y-intercept:

y = -2.5x + b

1.5 = -2.5 • 2 + b

1.5 = -5 + b

6.5 = b

The equation of the line will be:

y = -2.5 x + 6.5

Faye pays her family phone bill, and Jonathan’s family phone bill with her card and jonathan pays her back. If Faye bill is $120
nika2105 [10]

Answer:

<u>Jonathan has to pay Faye back US$ 240  </u>

<u>Jonathan has 4 people on his bill and Faye has 6.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's find out the amount of the phone bills, this way:

Total of the two bills = US$ 600

Faye's bill = US$ 120 more than Jonathan's

Jonathan's bill = x

Solving for x, we can use this equation:

x + x + 120 = 600

2x + 120 = 600

2x = 600 - 120

2x = 480

x = 480/2 = 240

<u>Jonathan has to pay Faye back US$ 240  </u>

2. Let's find out the number of people on each bill, this way:

Faye has two people more on her bill than Jonathan

Number of people on Jonathan's bill = x

Number of people on Faye's bill = x + 2

We will use the following equation:

240 * (x + 2) = 360x

240x + 480 = 360x

240x - 360x = -480

-120x = - 480

x = -480/-120

x = 4 ⇒ x + 2 = 6

<u>Jonathan has 4 people on his bill and Faye has 6.</u>

Answer:

23

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we want to evaluate the expression "9z-4" for z=3.

This means, we want to calculate the result when we substitute the z in this expression for 3.

So we have: 9(3)-4, which is equal to 23.

Let me know if this helps!
