Linear equation: y = mx + c
m = slope
c = y-intercept
Answer:
Stephanie has more than $900
Step-by-step explanation:
Represent the unknowns: a for Alexandra and s for Stephanie.
Then a + s > $2,500, and a = s + $700.
Substituting the latter into the former equation, we get:
(s + $700) + s > $2,500, or
2s > $1800
Then s > $900; Stephanie has more than $900.
y=kx+b
for (7,-8): -8=7k+b. (function 1)
for (-4,6): 6=-4k+b (function 2)
Use function 2 - function 1
we get: 14=-11k
k=-14/11------>slope is -14/11
Now we know that first two options are wrong since they have the wrong slope for the function.
Plus -14/11 back to function 1/ or 2. Both are correct and can give you the answer. In this case I would plug it back to function 2.
6=14*4/11+b
b=66/11-56/11
b=10/11
We get y=-14/11x+10/11
subtract both side by 6.
y-6=-14/11x+10/11-66/11
y-6=-14/11x-56/11
y-6=-14/11(x+4)
So C is correct
Negative divided by negative makes a positive
I believe its additive Inverse Property
