First let's talk about the blue line.
You can see its rising so its slope is certainly positive. But by how much is it rising? You can observe that each unit it rises it goes 1 forward and 1 up so its slope is the ratio of 1 up and 1 forward which is just 1.
We have thusly,
Now look at where blue line intercepts y-axis, -1. That is our n.
So the blue line has the equation of,
Next the black lines. The black lines are axes so their equations are a bit different.
First let's deal with x-axis, does it have slope? Yes but it is 0. The x-axis is still, not rising nor falling. Where does x-axis intercept y-axis? At 0. So the equation would be,
Now we have y-axis. Does y axis have a slope? Yes but it is 
. The y-axis rises infinitely in no run. Where does it intercept y-axis? Everywhere! So what should the equation be? What if we ask where does y-axis intercept x-axis and write its equation in terms of x. Y-axis intercepts x-axis at 0 which means its equation is,
That is, every point of a form 
lies on y-axis.

Answer:
24 candies originally
Step-by-step explanation:
Add the 4 to how many you had left, then think about that number, 16, and what goes into 16 evenly 2 times? 8 and originally she gave away 1/3 of the box and if you were to add another 8 to the box it would be 24 divided by 1/3, -,-4,= 12.
Answer:
The selling price after the markup is $1.82
Step-by-step explanation:
$1.40 * .30 =
Multiply $1.40 times .30 (which is same as 30%)
$1.40 * .30 = $0.42
Add $1.40 and $0.42
= $1.82

Answer: 120 ways
Step-by-step explanation: In this problem, we're asked how many ways can 5 people be arranged in a line.
Let's start by drawing 5 blanks to represent the 5 different positions in the line.
Now, we know that 5 different people can fill the spot in the first position. However, once the first position is filled, only 4 people can fill the second spot and once the second spot is filled, only 3 people can fill the third spot and so on. So we have <u>5</u> <u>4</u> <u>3</u> <u>2</u> <u>1</u>.
Now, based on the counting principle, there are 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 ways for all 5 spots to be filled.
5 x 4 is 20, 20 x 3 is 60, 60 x 2 is 120, and 120 x 1 is 120.
So there are 120 ways for all 5 spots to be filled which means that there are 120 ways that 5 people can be arranged in a line.

Answer:
17
Step-by-step explanation:
The expression of interest is the difference of the two given expressions.
(-4x +6y) -(-2x -7y) = (9) -(-8)
-2x +13y = 17
The value is 17.

<em>Additional comment</em>
You could go to the trouble to solve the two equations for x and y, then compute the value of the expression you want. As we saw above, that is not necessary.
The first step in problem solving is always "look at the given information and how it relates to what you are asked." A little time spent doing that can save a lot of effort in the actual problem solving process.
