Please express those fractions properly: 3/4, 7/8.
Let g be the # of gallons the tank could hold when full.
Then (3/4)n + 5 = (7/8)n.
solving for n: Mult all 3 terms by the LCD (8): 6n + 5(8) = 7n.
Then n=5(8) = 40 (gallons). The tank would hold 40 gallons of water were it full.
Helena is correct in saying that the point-slope form will generate the equation. The point-slope form is written as:
y-y₁ = m(x-x₁), where,
m = (y₂-y₁)/(x₂-x₁) is the slope of the line
(x₁,y₁) and (x₂,y₂) are the coordinates of the two points
On the other hand, the slope-intercept form is written as:
y = mx + b, where,
m is the slope of the line
b is the y-intercept
In this case, since only two points were given, the y-intercept of the line is not readily known. Thus, it is only through the point-slope form that the equation of the line can be determined. This is because it only requires the substitution of the x and y-coordinates of the points in the equation.
The equation of a line given two points needs to be found. Samuel claims that slope-intercept form will generate the equation and Helena claims that point-slope form will find the equation. Who is correct? Explain your reason by describing both forms.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
(3x + 8)
=(5x - 40)
Remove the brackets and replace 3x with -40 and -40 with 3x.
40 + 8
=5x - 3x (Remember that when you replace, the signs change from negative to positive and vise versa)
Solve for x. x= -24
Replace x with its value.
3(-24)+ 8= -64
5(-24) - 40= -160
