B.) Hibiscus Street
The key thing to remember is the slope of the lines. The equation for a line in slope intercept form is
y = ax + b
where
a = slope
b = y intercept
So the equation for Oak Street is y = 2/3x - 7. So it's slope is 2/3. And any street that has the same slope will be given a tree name. And any street that's perpendicular will be given a flower name. You can determine is a line is perpendicular if it has a slope that's the negative reciprocal. So a street that's perpendicular to Oak street will have a slope of -3/2.
Now you've just been given the equation to a new street that's y = -3/2x - 2. Since the slope is -3/2 and Oak street has a slope of 2/3, the new street is perpendicular to Oak street. And given the naming scheme, that means that the new street will have the name of a flower. So let's look at the available street names and pick a flower.

A.) Weeping Willow Street
* Nope a Weeping Willow is a tree. So this name won't work.
B.) Hibiscus Street
* Yes. A Hibiscus is a flower, so this name is suitable.
C.) Oak Street
* Nope. Not only is this a tree instead of a flower, but there's already an Oak street. So bad choice.
D.) Panther Street
* Nope, this is an animal, not a flower. Bad choice.

Assign variables to you unknowns.
c = $ cars
t = $ trucks
6c + 3t = 4800
8c + t = 4600
use substitution or elimination to solve the system of equations.
using elimination.. multiply second equation by -3 and add to the other to combine equations into one.
6c + 3t = 4800
-3(8c + t = 4600)
---------------------------
-18c + 0 = -9000
c = 9000/18
c = 500 $
use this in one of the equations to find the cost of a truck.
8(500) + t = 4600
4000 + t = 4600
t = 4600 - 4000
t = 600 $
question asks
2(500) + 3(600) =
1000 + 1800 = 2800 $
Answer:
a. 34
b 146
c 146
d. 34
e 146
f 146
Step-by-step explanation:
If y = 2/3 , we simply plug it in the equation.
2/3 x 6 =
Convert 6 into a fraction.
6/1
2/3 x 6/1 = 12/3 = 4
Answer: 4
