Answer:

slope = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line parallel to the given equation share the same slope. Note the slope intercept formula:

y = mx + b

y = (x , y)

m = slope

x = (x , y)

b = y-intercept

First, isolate the variable, y. Subtract 3x from both sides:

3x (-3x) - y = 1 (-3x)

-y = -3x + 1

Next, divide -1 from both sides:

(-y)/-1 = (-3x + 1)/-1

y = 3x - 1

You are solving for the slope of a line parallel to the given equation. Since you are solving for parallel, the slope would be shared.

3 would be the slope of the line.

Deja has two baskets of berries. One of the baskets has 3 3/8 pounds of berries and the other basket has 2 7/8 pounds of berries

Answer:

(b) The number of pounds of berries each person would receive is $1\frac{5}{8}$ pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of berries in first basket = 3 3/8 pounds

Now, $3\frac{3}{8} = 3+\frac{3}{8} = 3 + 0.375 = 3.375$

So, the amount of berries in first basket = 3.375 pounds

The amount of berries in second basket = 2 7/8 pounds

Now, $2\frac{7}{8} = 2+\frac{7}{8} = 2 + 0.875 = 2.875$

So, the amount of berries in second basket = 2.875 pounds

Now, the total berries = Berries in ( First + Second) basket

= 3.375 pounds + 2.875 pounds

= 6.25 pounds

So, the number of pounds each person would have = $\frac{\textrm{Total weight of viable berries}}{\textrm{4}} = \frac{6.25}{4} = 1.5625$

Now, $1.5625 = 1 + 0.5625 = 1 + \frac{5625}{10000} = 1 + \frac{5}{8} = 1\frac{5}{8}$

So, the number of pounds of berries each person would receive is $1\frac{5}{8}$ pounds.
