Answer:
The slope is -3
Step-by-step explanation:
We can find the slope using
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
= (-5-1)/(4-2)
= -6/2
= -3
Answer:
31 children and 290 adults
Step-by-step explanation:
Let a = number of adults and c = number of children.
a + c = 321
2a + 1.75c = 634.25
Multiply both sides of the the first equation by -2 and add it to the second equation.
-2a - 2c = -642
(+) 2a + 1.75c = 634.25
--------------------------------------
-0.25c = -7.75
Divide both sides by -0.25
c = 31
Use the first equation to find a.
a + c = 321
Substitute 31 for c.
a + 31 = 321
Subtract 31 from both sides.
a = 290
