For the equation of the line of the form y = mx + b, m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept which is the value of y when x is equal to zero. The slope is the rate of change of y per change in x. "y" would represent the dependent variable which is the weight of the baby while "x" represents the independent variable which is the number of months or the age of the baby in months. We calculate the slope as follows:

slope = (11 - 9) / ( 4 - 0) = 2/4 = 0.5
at x = 0, it is said that the weight of the baby is 9 lbs so the value of b would be 9.

The equation of the line would be y = 0.5x + 9

Which of the following equations could be the result of using the comparison method to solve the system shown?
masya89 [10]

Answer:

6-2y=4y+8

since you show x through y

Answer:

The result that is obtained on comparing the system of equations in order to get the solution to the system of equations is:

   6 -2y =4y + 8

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a system of equations in term of variable x and y as follows:

                                x + 2y = 6 --------(1)

                           x - 4y = 8-------------(2)

From equation (1) we have the value of x in terms of y as:

                          x=6-2y

From equation (2) we have the value of x in terms of y as:

                         x=8+2y

Hence, on equation the above two values of 'x' we obtain:

                         6 - 2y = 4y + 8
