The solution to the system is (90,40)....x = adults and y = child's...so x = 90 (there were 90 adult tickers) and y = 40 (there were 40 child tickets)...u already had the answer right in front of you
The slope of the line is -4
Part A: The y-intercept is 5. If you look to the data, when x=0, y=5. This means that the turtle started off 5 miles away from its nest. (at 0 hours, the distance away from his nest was 5 miles)
Part B:Answer=22. Remember, if you take any two distinct points on a line, the slope of the line will be equal to the average rate of change. In short, we're just looking for the slope between the ordered pairs (1,27) and (4,93). The formula for slope is:

The average rate of change between x=1 and x=4 is 22. The average rate of changed describes the rate at which miles is changing with respect the the change in hour.
Part C: Answer=10hours. Since by now we know both the slope and the y-intercept, lets write the equation in slope intercept form and then solve for 225 miles.
y=mx+b
y=22x+5
225=22x+5
subtract 5 from both sides
220=22x
divide both sides by 22
10=x
It would take 10 hours for the turtle to travel 225miles from it's nest.
Answer:
There are 6 adults. <em>My mistake! I had the wrong equation. 3 + 9a = 57.</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
- <u>There is only 1 child in the group.</u>
- Cost for children is 3$.
- <u>The cost for adults is 9$.</u>
- 9 * 6 = 54
- 3 * 1 = 3
- 3 + 9a = 57
- Simplify:
- 6 Adults.
Answer:
It is difficult to give a specific answer without your scenario but maybe this may help you out a bit.
Let's say you have a line like the one attached:
I labelled certain points b and u so you can use it as a reference. Now all you need to do is count all the points that lie on the same line and are found between.
In this case it would be point d and point e because the rest of the points do not line on the same line. For this problem particular scenario, the answer would be 2.
