Answer:

y = -3x + 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :-

Point on line = (5, -7)

Slope (m) = -3

To find :-

Equation of line

Solving :-

Using point-slope form of equation,

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

y + 7 = -3(x - 5)

y + 7 = -3x + 15

Solution :-

y = -3x + 8

If 1 inch is 500 miles, then 4 inches is how many miles?

tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

2,000 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given:

$1 inch=500 miles$

This can be rewritten as:

$\frac{500 miles}{1inch}$

This is representative of a unit rate, as we have a $1$ in the denominator. To calculate the number of miles in $4$ inches, simply multiply the unit rate by $4$ :

$\frac{500 miles}{1inch}*4=$

$\frac{2000 miles}{4 inches}$

This can rewritten as:

$4inches=2000miles$

Therefore, there are 2,000 miles in 4 inches.

We can check our solution by simplifying the fraction $\frac{2000 miles}{4 inches}$ by dividing both $2000$ and $4$ by $4$ to see if we achieve the unit rate:
