Answer:

The x-intercept would be 9 and the y-intercept would be -18/5

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find this we need to first find the slope. To do that we use the two points and the slope equation.

m (slope) = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = (-2 - -6)/(4 - -6)

m = 4/10

m = 2/5

Now that we have the slope, we can use that and either point to find the equation of the line in standard form.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y + 6 = 2/5(x + 6)

y + 6 = 2/5x + 12/5

-2/5x + y + 6 = 12/5

-2/5x + y = -18/5

-2x + 5y = -18

Now that we have this, we can find the intercepts through using 0s. First, we put a zero in for y to find the x intercept.

-2x + 5y = -18

-2x + 5(0) = -18

-2x = -18

x = 9

Therefore the x intercept is 9.

We find the y-intercept by doing the opposite. We put a 0 in for x.

-2x + 5y = -18

-2(0) + 5y = -18

5y = -18

y = -18/5

Mei Su had 80 coins. She gave most of them to her friends in such a way that each of her friends got at least one coin and no tw
Mama L [17]

Answer: 12 friends.

Step-by-step explanation:

the data we have is:

Mei Su had 80 coins.

She gave the coins to her friends, in such a way that every friend got a different number of coins, then we have that:

The maximum number of friends that could have coins is when:

friend 1 got 1 coin

friend 2 got 2 coins

friend 3 got 3 coins

friend N got N coins

in such a way that:

(1 + 2 + 3 + ... + N) ≥ 79

I use 79 because "she gave most of the coins", not all.

We want to find the maximum possible N.

Then let's calculate:

1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 = 15

15 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9 + 10 = 55

now we are close, lets add by one number:

55 + 11 = 66

66 + 12 = 78

now, we can not add more because we will have a number larger than 80.

Then we have N = 12

This means that the maximum number of friends is 12.

Find the value of x by finishing solving the system shown below.
Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Since both equations give y in terms of x, equate the right sides

3x - 28 = - 2x + 22 ( add 2x to both sides )

5x - 28 = 22 ( add 28 to both sides )

5x = 50 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x = 10
