Answer:

5 carnations in each arrangement

Total of 60 carnations used

Step-by-step explanation:

First calculate how many flowers are in each arrangement by dividing the total number of flowers by the number of arrangements:

96 ÷ 12 = 8

Given each arrangement has 3 roses, subtract 3 from 8 to find the number of carnations in each arrangement:

8 - 3 = 5

Therefore, there are 5 carnations in each arrangement

Total number of carnations used = 5 x 12 = 60

Write the point-slope form of the equation of the line that passes through the points (-3, 5) and (-1, 4). Include your work in

maw [93]

Firstly, we need to understand the formula of point-slope form:
$y1 - y2 =m( x1 - x2)$

Where x and y is the coordinates and m is the slope respectively.

To find the slope:
$\frac{y1 - y2}{x1 - x2}$
In this case:
$\frac{5 - 4}{ - 3 - ( - 1)} \\ = \frac{1}{ - 3 + 1} \\ = - \frac{1}{2}$

We can then put the above slope and the point (-1,4) into the formula:

4-y = -1/2(-1-x)
-y = 1/2+1/2x-4
y = -1/2x+7/2

Alternatively:

y-4=-1/2(x-(-1))
y=-1/2x-1/2+4
y = -1/2x+7/2

Therefore the answer is y = -1/2x+7/2.

Hope it helps!
