Mila reads at a rate of 2 paragraphs per minute.

After reading for 3 minutes, she had read a total of 6 paragraphs.

This situation can be represented with a linear equation written in point-slope form, where x represents the number of minutes and y represents the number of paragraphs.

Use this information to complete each statement about the linear equation.

The slope of the linear equation is

.

A point on the graph of a linear equation will be .

This linear equation can be written as .

answer: what

step-by-step explanation:

5x + 3y = - 4

step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in standard form is

ax + by = c ( a is a positive integer and b, c are integers )

express the line first of all in slope- intercept form

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y-intercept )

to calculate m use the gradient formula

m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (7, - 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (4, - 8)

m = = -

y = - x + c ← is the partial equation

to find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation

using (4, - 8 ), then

- 8 = - + c ⇒ c = -

y = - x - ← in slope-intercept form

multiply all terms by 3 to eliminate the fractions

3y = - 5x - 4 ( add 5x to both sides )

5x + 3y = - 4 ← in standard form

the answer is -1 1/5, also a
