Graph a line with -2 slope passing through (2,-5)

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of an equation of a line:

m - slope

b - y-intercept (0, b)

We have the slope m = -2.

Substitute to the equation:

Substitute the coordinates of the given point (2, -5) → x = 2, y = -5

           add 4 to both sides

The equation of a line:

Two points are enough to draw a straight line.

We have (2, -5) and the y-intercept b = -1 ⇒ (0, -1).

Mark them on a coordinate system.

Mark the given point on the coordinate system.

We know:

Thereofre

rise = 2 (2 units up)

run = -1 (1 unit to the left)

john earns $14.00 for two hours of work.

step-by-step explanation:

you can add the two numbers and divide the result by 2. or you can find the gap between the two numbers and add half of this to the smaller number.
