Sarah described the following situation: When more apples grew in the backyard, the pet cat stayed indoors for a longer time.

Which of the following best describes the situation?
A. This is an example of correlation because there is an obvious relationship between the two scenarios.
B. This is an example of causation because apples cause cats to stay indoors.
C. This is an example of correlation because apples cause cats to stay indoors.
D. This is an example of causation because cats dislike apples.

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
