If you are given y = (-3/7)x - 2 and you want it in the form Ax+By = C, then...
y = (-3/7)x-2
7*y = 7*( (-3/7)x-2) ... multiply both sides by 7
7y = -3x-14 ... distribute and multiply
7y+3x = -3x-14+3x ... add 3x to both sides
3x+7y = -14
The standard form equation is 3x+7y = -14
Answer:
Slope: 1/4
y-intercept: -6
Step-by-step explanation:
A(x) = P(1.02)^x
A(x) = P(1 + 0.02)^x
A(x) = P(1 + r)^x
Therefore rate of change = 0.02 = 2%
We are given here the individual costs of DVD and CD as well as the total sales and the number of items sold on one day. To solve the number of DVDs and CDs sold each, we devise two independent linear equations:
(1) x + y = 39
(2) 4x + 7y = 204
x- number of DVDs; y - number of CDs
solving, x= 23 DVDs
y = 16 CDs
