Answer:

y = 3x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line passing through the two points

P = (x1. y1) and Q = (x2, y2) is given by

m= (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

We have that x1= -6, y1= -19, x2= 2, y2= 5

m=3

Now, the y-intercept is b=y1 - mx1 (or b= y2 - mx2, the result is the same).

b= -19-(3)(-6)

b= -1

y = 3x - 1

galina1969 [7]

So, what is the total lenght of the pieces that wer cut off?

we multiply the lenght by the number:

4 $\frac{1}{3}$ *5=20+ $\frac{5}{3}$ =21 $\frac{2}{3}$

and we subtract this from the original pipe, that is

30 $\frac{3}{4}$ -21 $\frac{2}{3}$

we need to bring the two fractions to the same denominator (by multiplying the fraction art in the first by 3 and 4 the second):

30 $\frac{9}{12}$ -21 $\frac{8}{12}$ =9 $\frac{1}{12}$

so the correct answer is D!
