Answer:
3.5 in.
Step-by-step explanation:
17.5 ÷ 5 = 3.5
Answer:
The equation in the slope-intercept form will be:
y = 1/4x - 7
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the points




We know that the slope-intercept of line equation is

where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept
substituting m = 1/4 and the point (-4, -8) to find the y-intercept 'b'
y = mx+b
-8 = 1/4(-4)+b
-8 = -1 + b
b = -8+1
b = -7
so the y-intercept = b = -7
substituting m = 1/4 and b = -7 in the slope-intercept form of line equation
y = mx+b
y = 1/4x + (-7)
y = 1/4x - 7
Thus, the the equation in slope-intercept form will be:
y = 1/4x - 7
1. Since it's m - 7 you would have 7 to both sides so you would in fact have m < 13. If you double check your answer, you see that if m is say 12 (because 12 is obviously less than 13), 12 - 7 < 6
2. Again, use the same process on this problem as the first one. Add 8 to each sides because it's you're subtracting 8 from n. So you end up with n > 13. Check your answer. Say n is 14. 14 - 8 > 5
3. This one is different because you are adding 5 to p. So in order to get p by itself, you need to subtract 5 from both sides. p < 5. Say p is 4, 4 + 5 < 10.
When working with problems like these, you need to isolate the variable on one side and get it by itself.
Set it up in a proportion.
8 (oil)/5 (salad dressing) = x/7
cross multiply to get 11.2
