Answer:

75 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Make an equation

4 pies to 15 minutes = 20 pies to x minutes

4 / 15 = 20 / x

Now cross multiply

4x = 15 × 20

And multiply 15 and 20

4x = 300

Then divide both sides by 4

x = 75

So your answer is 75 minutes

1. The first equation is - 2x + 5y = 0

Second equation is $y = \frac{2}{5} x$

5y = 2x

- 2x + 5y = 0

Hence, the two equations are equivalent.

2. $a_{1} = 2, a_{2} = - 2$

$b_{1} = -1, b_{2} = -1$

$\frac{a_{1} }{a_{2}} =\frac{2}{-2} = -1$

$\frac{b_{1} }{b_{2}} = \frac{-1}{-1} = 1$

$\frac{a_{1} }{a_{2}} \neq \frac{b_{1} }{b_{2}}$

Hence, the equations are consistent.

3. $a_{1} = 4, a_{2} = 6$

$b_{1} = -1, b_{2} = -1$

$\frac{a_{1} }{a_{2}} =\frac{4}{6} = \frac{2 }{3}$

$\frac{b_{1} }{b_{2}} = \frac{-1}{-1} = 1$

$\frac{a_{1} }{a_{2}} \neq \frac{b_{1} }{b_{2}}$

Hence, the equations are consistent.

4. Equations can be re-arranged as:

x + y - 4 = 0 and

x + y + 6 = 0

$a_{1} = 1, a_{2} = 1$

$b_{1} = 1, b_{2} = 1$

$c_{1} = -4, c_{2} = 6$

$\frac{a_{1} }{a_{2}} =\frac{1}{1} = 1$

$\frac{b_{1} }{b_{2}} =\frac{1}{1} = 1$

$\frac{c_{1} }{c_{2}} =\frac{-4}{6} = \frac{-2}{3}$

$\frac{a_{1} }{a_{2}} = \frac{b_{1} }{b_{2}} \neq \frac{c_{1} }{c_{2}}$

Hence, the equations are inconsistent.

5. If we multiply the first equation by 4, we will get,

2y = -4x + 20 which is the second equation.

Hence, the equations are equivalent.

Answer:

The answer is A) y = -7x - 7.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you need to subtract '7x' from both sides, and once that is done, the equation is in slope-intercept form because it is in y=mx+b form. I'll attach a photo below that explains my process! :) And another possible answer would be y = 7x + 7, but that is not an option listed above.
