Answer:
y = 2/3x - 1
Step-by-step explanation:
The simpliest way to determine the slope of the line is to see the rise over run of the line. In this case, we are given two points which are at (0, -1) and (3,1)
By calculating rise of run, we can see that the starting point goes up by 2 units, from -1 to 1 and goes to the right 3 units, from 0 to 3
In this case, that means we have a slope of 2/3x.
The +b plays into the y-intercept of the line, which is actually the same of one of our points: (0,-1)
Since this number is a negative, it would actually be y = (2/3)x + (-1) which is the same as y=2/3x - 1
Answer:
Why i dont know
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
3x +4y = 118
5x+6y =180
y= $25
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = the cost of a flashlight
Let y = the cost of a sleeping bag
3x +4y = 118
5x+6y =180
Multiply the first equation by -5
-5(3x +4y) = -5*118
-15x -20y = -590
Multiply the second equation by 3
3(5x+6y) =3*180
15x + 18y = 540
Add the modified equations together.
We are using elimination to eliminate the variable x
-15x -20y = -590
15x + 18y = 540
----------------------------
-2y = -50
Divide by -2
-2y/-2 = -50/-2
y =25
Each sleeping bag costs $25
Subtract what has already been loaded from total amount allowed:
23500 - 9700 = 13,800
Divide the amount left by the weight of each crate:
13,800 / 70 = 197.14
They can load 197 crates.

-x + y = -1
X = 3
Y = 2
