Mrs. Cent recently completed a lab with her students in which they measured the wattage of various appliances. The tag on the hairdryer states that it uses 1500 watts. Write an equation to represent this information, with Wrepresenting the total wattage and Hrepresenting the number of hair dryers. PL HELP

the factors of 24 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12 and 24. hope this ! mark brainliest! you v much! : )

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
