Answer:
y = 6x -7
Step-by-step explanation:
1. The equation of any line in slope-intercept form is y = mx + b, where y = y-coordinate, m = slope, x = x-coordinate, and b = y-intercept.
2. Given that the slope is 6, we plug that value in m, and given that the y-intercept is -7, we plug that value in b:
Let the two numbers be x and y.
Let m = the fraction (or percentage) for increasing the numbers.
Increase x by 5, multiply (x+5) by (1+m), and set it qual to 36.
(x + 5)*(1 + m) = 36
Increase y by 5, multiply (y+5) by (1+m), and set it equal to 36.
(y+5)*(1+m) = 36
Therefore
(x+5)*(1+m) = (y+5)*(1+m)
x + 5 = y + 5
x = y
x - y = 0
Answer: 0.
The difference between the two numbers is zero.
