Answer:
Points apply to the given situation:
(a)The puppy will run into the wall after 5 seconds
(b)The slope is -4 ft per second since the puppy is running at a rate of 4 ft per second.
(c)The y-intercept is 20 ft because the puppy is 20 feet away from the wall.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have given,
A puppy is running at a rate = 4 feet per second
A wall is 20 feet away from puppy. That means initially puppy is 20 feet away from the wall.
So, time taken by puppy to reach the wall =
i.e. time take by puppy to reach the wall = = 5 seconds
Now we write the points that apply to this situation:
(a)The puppy will run into the wall after 5 seconds
(b)The slope is -4 ft per second since the puppy is running at a rate of 4 ft per second. {Since the puppy is moving towards the wall that means horizontal distance is decreasing at a rate of -4 feet per second}
(c)The y-intercept is 20 ft because the puppy is 20 feet away from the wall.
Well If your trying to turn it into a decimal the answer would be .25 but if you want it as a fraction the answer is 100 over 25. Hope I helped!

Answer:
x = -12
Step-by-step explanation:
-2.5(x-4)=-3x+4
Distribute
-2.5x +10 = -3x +4
Add 3x to each side
-2.5x+10 +3x = -3x+4+3x
.5x +10 = 4
Subtract 10 from each side
.5x+10-10=4-10
.5x = -6
Divide by .5
.5x/.5 = -6/.5
x = -12
