ANSWER

Therefore the correct answer is B

EXPLANATION

The equation in the point slope form of a straight line is given by the formula;

y-y_1=m(x-x_1) , where is the slope and the point (x_1,y_1) is any point on the line.

Since two points on the line are given, Lamont must find the slope using the points (-8,5) and (-5,7) as follows;

$m=\frac{7-5}{-5--8} =\frac{7-5}{-5+8} =\frac{2}{3}$ .

He can now choose one of the points as (x_1,y_1) .

If he uses (-8,5) , the he obtains,

$y-5=\frac{2}{3}(x--8)$

Which gives $y-5=\frac{2}{3}(x+8)$ as the equation of the line.

Therefore the correct answer is B

6.75 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

because 5 times 15.75= 78.75

then 128 - 78.75=49.25

then 49.25 - 2=47.25

then you do 47.25 divided by 7= 6.57
