Answer:
<h2>
2x + 3y = 33 </h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
As we move from (-2, 5) to (1, 3), x increases by 3 and y decreases by 2.
Hence, the slope of this line is m = rise / run = -2/3.
Start with the slope-intercept form y = mx + b.
Substitute 3 for y and 1 for x and -2/3 for m:
3 = (-2/3)(1) + b.
Remove fractions by mult. all three terms by 3:
9 = -2 + b, so b = 11, and y = (-2/3)x + 11
Again, mult. all three terms by 3:
3y = -2x + 33, or, in standard form,
<h2>
2x + 3y = 33 </h2>
Each neighbor would get 1 whole cucumber and a 1/4 of a cucumber so it would be 1 and a 1/4
Answer:
The slope is -2
y =-2x - 1
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope is -2 or -2/1.
The slope is the change in y over the change in x. The ordered pair is written in the form (x,y) The first number is the x coordinate and the second number is the y coordinate.
(1, -3) (0, -1) The -1 and the -3 are the y coordinates. We subtract these.
-1 -(-3) is the same as
- 1 + 3 which is 2.
(1, -3) (0, 1,) the 1 and the 0 are the x coordinates. We subtract these
0 - 1 is -1
The change in y is 2 and the change in x is -1, so our slope is -2/1 which is the same as -2.
To write the equation we need the slope and the y intercept. We have the slope now. We need to find the y-intercept. We will use the slope and one of the points to find the y-intercept. It does not matter which of the two points (1,-3) or (0,-1). I will use (0,-1)
y = mx + b The b is the y-intercept which is what we are looking for
-1 = -2(0) + b
-1 = 0 + b
-1 = b
y = -2x -1
