Answer:
x≈231.123
Step-by-step explanation:
1) Make a ratio 314/2512= x/1584
2) Use the concept of cross multiplication and get 314*1584=2512x
3) Use Algebra:
314*1584=497,376
497,376/2152=2512x/2152
x≈231.123
Ok so we can see for every 2 cups of medium coffee, the balance goes down 5.30$. So that means that for every coffee, her balance goes down 2.65$. Solving for the x-intercept means how many medium coffees can I get until my balance is 0. First, we have to find the y-int so it's easy. The slope is -2.65 because for every medium coffee, her balance goes down 2.65$. So we have y=-2.65x+b. Plugging in any point, I choose (4,14.40), we get 14.4 = -2.65 × 4 +b. Solving for b we get 25 for the y intercept, meaning the equation is y = -2.65x + 25 . To find the x intercept, we set y=0. So we have 0 = -2.65x+25. Solving for x we get approx. 9.4. We can't have decimals so we round down to 9. So the x int is ≈ 9.4 meaning we can only buy 9 coffee and have a little extra. But, if the problem said how many more coffees can she get, then here is how we do it. Since she already got 4 coffees, and the max is 9, we do 9-4 and we get 5, so she can buy 5 coffeed more.
Answer: 2.4 + 7.6 = 10

Hope this helps
Hi there!
So the format of slope-intercept form is:
y= mx+b
m= your slope
x = just a variable
b= your y- intercept
Using those hints, see if you can figure out the answer! :)
Hope this helped!

If you're super stuck, your answer would be:
Slope: -7
Y- intercept: 12
Step-by-step explanation:
If y was directly proportional to x, the graph of y against x would pass through the origin (O).
Since the graph above does not show this, y is not directly proportional to x.
