The number of two-points shots made is 14

The number of free throws made is 10

<h3>What is the number of two-points shots and free throws made?</h3>

The first step is to formulate a set of linear equations that represent the information in the question:

x + y = 24 equation 1

2x + y = 38  equation 2

Where:

  • x = number of two-point shots made
  • y = number of free throws made

The linear equations would be solved using the elimination method.

In order to determine the value of x, take the following steps:

Subtract  equation 1 from  equation 2

x = 14

Substitute for x in  equation 1

14 + y = 24

Combine similar terms:

y = 24 - 14

Add similar terms together

y = 10

Identify the equation in slope-intercept form for the line containing the point (-4,1) and (2,3)
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

The point slope formula is

(y−y1)=m(x−x1)

Where m = the slope calculated as y2−y1x2−x1

(x1,y1)(x2,y2)

(-4 , 1) (-2 , 3)

Solve for the slope

m = 3−1−2−(−3) = 21 = m = 2

(y−3)=2(x−(−2)) Plug in known values.

y−3=2(x+2) Simplify signs

y−3=2x+4 Use Distributive property

y=−2x+4+3 isolate the y variable

answer (y = −5x+7 ) Simplify
