A line passes through the point (1,-3) and has a slope of -7. Find the equation of the line.

y = -7x+4

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the slope intercept form of the equation

y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

We know the slope

y = -7x+b

We have a point to substitute in for x and y

-3 = -7(1) +b

-3 = -7+b

Add 7 to each side

-3+7 =b

4 =b

We can substitute this back into

y = -7x+b

y = -7x+4

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.
