A group of adults and students went on a class trip to Washington, DC. The number of male students was 1 more than 7 times the n

umber of adults. The number of female students was half the number of male students. If the total number of people who went on the trip is 82, find the numbers of male students and female students.

Given:
adults = x
male = 7x + 1
female = (7x + 1)/2
total number of people = 82

x + (7x + 1) + [(7x +1)/2] = 82
2x/2 + (14x + 2)/2 + (7x + 1)/2 = 82
2x + 14x + 2 + 7x + 1 = 82 * 2
23x + 3 = 164
23x = 164 - 3
23x = 161
x = 161/23
x = 7

adults = x = 7
males = 7x + 1 = 7(7) + 1 = 49 + 1 = 50
females = (7x+1)/2 = 50/2 = 25

7 + 50 + 25 = 82

Write the equation of the line that passes through (−2, 6) and (2, 14) in slope-intercept form.
MakcuM [25]
Slope-intercept form is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

The first step is to find the slope using the provided coordinates (-2, 6) and (2, 14). We can do that using the y1 - y2 / x1 - x2, like so:

6 - 14 / -2 - 2
-8 / -4
2

The slope is two, so we immediately know the answer is either A or B.

Now, plot the two points on graphing paper and determine where the line intersects the y-axis to find the y-intercept...

My graph shows the line intersecting the y-axis at 10, therefore the correct answer is:
y = 2x + 10
