Question

ANSWER QUICKLY! Sal's Sandwich Shop sells wraps and sandwiches as part of its lunch specials. The profit on every sandwich is $2, and the profit on every wrap is $3. Sal made a profit of $1,470 from lunch specials last month. The equation 2x + 3y = 1,470 represents Sal's profits last month, where x is the number of sandwich lunch specials sold and y is the number of wrap lunch specials sold. (QUESTION!!)
--->Change the equation to slope-intercept form. Identify the slope and y-intercept of the equation. Be sure to show all your work.

Answer 1

Answer:

2x+3y =1470

slope intercept form

y=mx+b

2x+3y =1470

subtract 2x from each side

3y = -2x+1470

divide by 3

y = -2/3 x +1470/3

y = -2/3x +490

slope = -2/3

y intercept = 490

Answer 2

Answer:

y= -2/3x+490

slope: -2/3

y-intercept: 490

Step-by-step explanation:

Y-intercept form is y=mx+b, so you would first subtract 2x from both sides to get 3y= -2x+1,470. Then you divide both sides by 3, to get y= -2/3x+490. -2/3 is in the place of m, so it is the slope, and 490 is in the place of b, so it is the y-int.
