1) Find the graph of a line passing through (-1, 4) and (2, 0).
The slope of two points can be determined by dividing the difference of y-values by the difference of x-values:
The slope of this equation is -4/3. Inputting this into the slope-intercept form of an equation, we get:
To find b, substitute x and y for one of the given coordinate pairs:
0 = (-4/3)(2) + b
0 = -8/3 + b
8/3 = b
Substitute the b value into the equation to finish the line:
Answer:
<em>Terry had £780 initially and Faye had £1300</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>System of Equations</u>
We'll call the following variables:
x = Terry's balance in his bank account
y = Faye's balance in her bank account
The initial relation between them is:
Cross-multiplying:
5x = 3y [1]
If Terry put £220 in his account he had x+220 and if Faye withdrew £300 from her account, she had y-300. Both quantities are equal, thus
x + 220 = y - 300
Subtracting 220:
x = y - 520 [2]
Substituting in [1]
5(y - 520) = 3y
Multiplying:
5y - 2600 = 3y
Adding 2600 and subtracting 3y:
2y = 2600
Dividing by 2:
y = 1300
From [2]:
x = 1300 - 520
x = 780
Terry had £780 initially and Faye had £1300
