Write a linear equation in slope intercept form that passes through the points (-5, -8)
and has a slope of 4/5

y=4/5x-4

Step-by-step explanation:

Use point-slope formula then turn to slope intercept form

y-y₁=m(x-x₁)  →   y = mx + b

y--8=4/5(x--5)

y+8=4/5x+4

  -8             -8

y=4/5x-4

we can set up an equation to find the girls' ages. the equation is         28=0.5x-5+x. (comment if you need me to explain how i got this equation.) so, you add x and 0.5x to get 1.5x and add 5 to each side. your new equation is 33=1.5x. now divide both sides of the equation by 1.5 to get 22=x. because x is mary's age, to find jasmine's age we subtract mary's age from 28. we find that mary is 22 years old and jasmine is 6 years old.
