Choose the equation that represents the graph below:
2 answers:
Y = x + 3 is the answer
the y-intercept is 3, so the answer should have a "+ 3" in it
when you are trying to determine the gradient (the x), you can use two methods
first method:
picture/sketch the line. If the line is going upwards (from left to right), it's positive. If the line is going downwards (from left to right), it's negative. However, this method only works for this question, you should try using the second method more
second method:
use the formula: (y - y) / (x - x)
So, you use the y from one of the brackets and subtract the y from the other bracket. Then, you put it over the x ,from the same bracket as the first y, and subtract the x from the second bracket. If you are confused, look at the picture. (Sorry for the messy explanation)

Answer:
$2500 at 8%.
$2900 st 5%.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the amount invested at rate of 8% and y be the amount invested at the rate of 5%.
We have been given that Heather has divided $5400 between two investments. We can represent this information as:
The return on her investment is $345.
Earnings from the investment at 8% will be 8% of x.
Earnings from the investment at 5% will be 5% of y.
We will use substitution method to solve our system of equations. From equation (1) we will get,
Substituting this value in equation (2) we will get,
Therefore, Heather has invested an amount of $2900 at 5%.
Let us substitute y=2900 in equation (1) to solve for x.
Therefore, Heather has invested an amount of $2500 at 8%.
