Answer: the price of 1 yard of chicken wire is $2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the cost of one yard of landscaping fabric.

Let y represent the cost of one yard of chicken wire.

Charlotte pays $24 for 3 yards of landscaping fabric and 6 yards of chicken wire. This means that

3x + 6y = 24 - - - - - - - - - - 1

Kami pays $30 for 6 yards of landscaping fabric and 3 yards of chicken wire. This means that

6x + 3y = 30 - - - - - - - - -2

Multiplying equation 1 by 6 and equation 2 by 3, it becomes

18x + 36y = 144

18x + 9y = 90

Subtracting

27y = 54

y = 54/27 = 2

Substituting y = 2 into equation 1, it becomes

3x + 6×2 = 24

3x = 24 - 12 = 12

x = 12/3 = 4

Answer:

$2 per yard.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the price per yard of landscaping fabric be f and the price of chicken wire per yard be c.

3f + 6c = 24     Multiply this equation by  - 2:

-6f - 12c = -48 Also:

6f + 3c = 30

Adding the last 2 equations:

-9c = -18

c = 2.

the graph of h is the graph of f(x)=x^2 translated 4 units left and 7 units down. Write the function H in vertex form.
adoni [48]

Answer:

f(x)=a(x - h)2 + k

Much like a linear function, k works like b in the slope-intercept formula. Like where add or subtract b would determine where the line crosses, in the linear, k determines the vertex of the parabola. If you're going to go up 2, then you need to add 2.

The h determines the movement horizontally. what you put in h determines if it moves left or right. To adjust this, you need to find the number to make the parentheses equal 0 when x equals -2 (because moving the vertex point to the left means subtraction/negatives):

x - h = 0

-2 - h = 0

-h = 2

h = -2

So the function ends up looking like:

f(x)=a(x - (-2))2 + 2

Subtracting a negative cancels the signs out to make a positive:

f(x)=a(x + 2)2 + 2

What is the equation for this line? *
ELEN [110]

Answer:

y = -2x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The y-intercept is given by the point that is on the y-axis. (1)

This means that the answer contains a +1

Then you must find  if the slope is positive or negative

In this case the slope is negative because the line goes "downhill" from left to right

Since the slope is negative it means that there will be a negative sign in the beginning of the equation

Next, to find the slope you need to find the rise over run

Since it is a negative slope the rise will be negative and the run will be positive.

To find the slope find two clear points on the graph such as (0,1) and (2,0)

To find the slope, use the slope formula

This would look like: (0-2)/(1-0)

Your slope will be -2x

Piece it all together and you get a final answer of y= -2x+1
