(20 POINTS) help, please and thank you! :) <3

The given points are: (-2,4) and (6,b)

The slope is -3/2

The slope is the change in Y over the change in x.

So you get:  -3/2 = (b - 4) / (6 - -2)

Simplify to get: -3/2 = (b - 4) / 8

Now we see the denominator on the right is 8 and on the left is 2, this is a scale of 4: (8 / 2 = 4) so the numerator on the right needs to be scaled by 4 as well.

The left side is -3, so the right side needs to equal -3 x 4 = -12

Now we know b - 4 = -12, solve for b:

b -4 = -12, add 4 to both sides:

b = -8

Now check:

(-2,4) (6,-8)

Slope = (-8 - 4) / (6 - -2) = -12 /8 = -3/2

b = -8

walter needs to make at least 5 more cookies but no more than 40. 5 ≥ x ≥ 40;

step-by-step explanation:

walter has to make a minimum of 20 cookies. he already has 15 cookies made, so he must make 5 more to meet the minimum.

the maximum amount of cookies he can make is 55. he already has 15, so he has to make no more than 40 more cookies to meet the maximum.
