Write an equation in standard form that has a slope of -1 and passes through the point (-5, -1).

y = -x-6

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem we use point-slope formula:

y-y1 = m (x2-x1)

When we plug in our values, it looks like this:

y-(-1) = -1 (x-(-5))

When we rearrange into slope-intercept form, we get this:

y = -x-6

HTH :)

use this formula:

p(a\b) = p(a and b)/p(b).

take it from here.

1,407.5 hours

step-by-step explanation:

we first convert all the time to hours and then sum them up.

there are 24 hours in 1 day, in 58 days, there are 24 x 58 = 1,392 hours.

there are 60 minutes in 1 hour, thus, 30 minutes will be equivalent to 30 / 60 = 0.5 hours.

therefore, the number of hours it will take mercury to complete a full rotation is 1,392 + 15 + 0.5 = 1,407.5 hours
