After traveling 345 miles the
2 answers:
d = total distance of the trip. We know that 345 miles is only 3/5 of the trip. Due to the fact that we know this, we can do some simple math to find the total distance. 345/3 = 115
115 * 5 = 575
This means we are looking for the equation which gives us d = 575.
Lets solve each problem:
A) 3/5 / d = 345. This would give us d = .0017. Which is way too small to be the total distance.
B) 3/5 * d = 345. This would give us d = 575. Seems like our answer, but lets keep trying the other ones.
C) 345 * d = 3/5. d = .0017, this is not right.
D) 345 / d = 5/3. This is d = 207, which is also wrong.
So our answer should be B.
I hope this helps! :)

- Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b, with m = slope and (0,b) as the y-intercept.
So starting with the y-intercept, the easiest method to find it is to convert this standard form equation to slope-intercept form. Firstly, add 5x to both sides:
Next, divide both sides by -4 and your slope-intercept form is
Looking at this slope-intercept form, <u>the y-intercept is (0, -5/2).</u>
Now to find the x-intercept, just set the y-variable to zero and solve:
<u>Our x-intercept is (-2,0).</u>
