You're given the slope of the line and a point thru which the line passes. So it makes sense to use the point-slope form of the equation of a straight line: if the point is (a,b) and the slope is m, then
y-b=m(x-a). You'd then solve this for y to obtain the equation in slope-intercept form.
On the other hand, if you're asked to write the equation in slope-intercept form, starting with the general form of this equation may be faster: y=mx+b.
Substitute the given values for x and y (which are 25 and -9) and m (which is (2/5). Solve the resulting equation for b (the y-intercept).
Then write the finished equation: y=( ? )x + b, where b is the y-intercept you've just found.

Answer:
31 vacuums
Step-by-step explanation:
1800 = 250 + 50v
1800 - 250 = 50v
50v = 1550
v = 1550 / 50
v = 31
He sold 31 vacuums.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
a.
2y - 3x = 5
2(-2) - 3x = 5
-4 - 3x = 5
-3x = 9
x = -3
(-3,-2) is another solution
b.
(-1,1)
2y - 3x = 5
2(1) - 3(-1) = 5
2 + 3 = 5
5 = 5
true, the point is a solution to the equation because the equation is true after substituting x and y with the point (-1,1)
(4,1)
2y - 3x = 5
2(1) - 3(4) = 5
2 - 12 = 5
-10 = 5
not true, the point is not a solution to the equation because the equation is not true after substituting x and y with the point (4,1)
c. You can use the points from the given (-1,1) and (-3,-2) to form a line. You then shade whichever half solves the solution using points on the graph.
