15 pigs and 40 sheep
10 cows is equivalent to 2 parts of the ratio, hence
= 5 ← 1 part of the ratio, hence
8 parts = 8 × 5 = 40 ← number of sheep
3 parts = 3 × 5 = 15 ← number of pigs
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's create an equation in point-slope form, which is: , where
is the point and m is the slope.
Here, our point is (-2, 7) and our slope is m = -5 so plug these in:
Now, if (a, 2) lies on this line, then it should satisfy the equation. So plug in a for x and 2 for y:
2 - 7 = -5(a + 2)
-5 = -5(a + 2)
Divide by -5:
1 = a + 2
Subtract 2 from both sides:
a = -1
Thus, the answer is B.
Hope this helps!
