1) Given that the apple tree is 4/5 pear tree we can write

Apple Tree size = 4/5 Peartree

Apple tree= 4m

2) So we can write the following expression for that:

$\begin{gathered} Apple=\frac{4}{5}P \\ 4=\frac{4}{5}_{}P \\ 4P=20m \\ P=\frac{20}{4} \\ P=5 \\ \\ \end{gathered}$

So the Pear tree is 5 meters tall, and the apple tree is 4/5*5 = 4 m

a system of equations is graphed here. which system of equations does the graph represent? A) y = 3x + 2y = -2x + 5 B) y = 3x -

Notice that the line with negative slope has a y-intercept of 5 and the line with positive slope has a y-intercept of 2.

On the other hand, the slope of the line with negative slope is -2, while the slope of the line with positive slope is 3 (This can be identified since in one case, the value of y decreases by 2 for each increase of 1 unit in x, and in the other, the value of y increases by 3 for each increase of 1 unit in x).

Using the y-intercept form to represent each line, the system of equations represented by the graph must be equivalent to:
