Write an equation in point-slope form of the line that passes through the given point and has the given slope. (3, –8); m = –5

y+8=-5(x-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for point-slope form is y-y1=m(x-x1)

The points for (x1, y1) are (3, -8), meaning that 3 is x1 and -8 is y1.

So, start by writing your equation like this: y--8=m(x-3)

For the equation y--8=m(x-3), the y--8 will change to a + sign because two negatives make a positive, right? So, the equation should now look like this: y+8=m(x-3).

We know that the slope (m) is -5. Plug that into the equation to get this: y+8=-5(x-3)

And there you have it

y+8=-5(x-3) is the final answer!!

Hope that helps you

mr. flanders’ class sold 47 doughnuts and   mr. rodriquez’s class sold 38 cartons of milk

step-by-step explanation:

let x be the number of doughnuts sold by mr. flanders’ class and y be the number of cartons sold by mr. rodriquez’s class.

1. together, the classes sold 85 items, then

x+y=85.

2. both classes earn earned $104.49 for their school. if doughnuts were sold for $1.35 each, then x doughnuts costed $1.35x. if cartons of milk were sold for $1.08 each, then y cartons costed $1.08y. hence,

1.35x+1.08y=104.49.

3. solve the system of two equations:

- "runner b is moving at a slower rate."

- "the graphs shown are graphs of distance(km) against time(min).

the slopes of this graphs are are given by:

slope = (change in y)/(change in x)

= (change in distance)/(change in time)

this is the formula for finding the speed. so, the slope of these graphs represent the speed of the runner.

taking each division in the graph to represent 1 on both axis:

runner a ⇒ speed = (2-0)/(1-0)

= 2/1

= 2 km/min

runner b ⇒ speed = (3-0)/(3-0)

= 3/3

= 1 km/min

this shows that   runner b is moving at a slower rate."
