The slope of the line that passes through the points (-2,y) and (-5,7) is -2/3. what is the value of y?

5

Step-by-step explanation:

slope = rise/run = (7-y)/(-5-(-2)) = -2/3

3(7 -y) = -2(-3) . . . . . multiply by 3(-3)

7 -y = 2 . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 3

7 -2 = y = 5 . . . . . . . . add y-2

The value of y is 5.

$53.50

step-by-step explanation:

you have to subtract the amount of money chuck earned ($72.50) by the cost of the gas for the mower ($11.25) and the new string for the trimmer he bought ($7.75).

72.50-11.25=61.25

and then subtract $61.25 by the second thing he bought (the new string for the trimmer)

61.25-7.75=53.5

so in total it's $53.50 (53 dollars and 50 cents)
