Which equation represents a line that passes through (2, -1/2) and has a slope of 3? y-2 = 3(x + 1/2)
y-3 = 2(x + 1/2)
y+1/2= 3(x - 2)
y + 1/2 = 2(x – 3)

y+1/2= 3(x - 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope can be seen to be 3 by factoring out each of the right sides.  Only a and c have a slope of 3.  Next if the point (2,-1/2) is plugged into the equation of c then you get an answer of 0=0.  Beacuse both sides are equal when the point desired is plugged in it is the correct answer.

fist on the left goes with the third on the right. second on the left goes with the fourth on the right. third on the left goes with the second on the right. the fourth on the left goes with first on the right

step-by-step explanation:

12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 7 hours.

4: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 3 hours.

this means that from 4: 00 p.m to 7: 00 p.m. this represents 3/7 of what was lost from 12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m.

after knowing this, after doing 11,600 - 6,800 = 4,800

4,800 represents 3/7 of what was lost for 7 hours.

we then divide 4,800 by 3 which gets 1,600.

because we know that 1,600 represents 1/7 of how much water was lost, we just have to multiply by 7, which gets 11,200.   after adding 11,200 to how much water was left at 7: 00 p.m. which was 6,800. 11,200 + 6,800 = 18,000

this means that the pool originally had 18,000 gallons in the pool.

you can also check your work by doing 18,000 - 4(1600), which becomes           1800 - 6400 which gets you 11,600.
