Answer:
- 40 popcorns and 90 pretzels sold.
============
Let the number of popcorns is x and pretzels is y.
Set up equations:
- x + y = 130
- 2.5x + 2y = 280
Solve by elimination, multiply the first equation by 2 and subtract from the second equation:
- 2.5x + 2y - 2x - 2y = 280 - 2*130
- 0.5x = 280 - 260
- 0.5x = 20
- x = 20/0.5
- x = 40
Find y:
- 40 + y = 130
- y = 130 - 40
- y = 90

A function that fits the following points (0,5), (2,-13) is y = 9x + 5
<h3>Equation of a line</h3>
The equation of a line in slope-intercept form is expressed as;
y =mx +b
where;
m is the slope
b is the intercept
Given the following coordinates (0,5), (2,-13)
Slope = -13-5/2-0
Slope = -18/-2
Slope = 9
Since the y-intercept is b = 5, hence the equation of the line will be y = 9x + 5
