Answer:
y= -2x +1
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>slope- intercept form</u><u>:</u>
y= mx +c, where m us the gradient and c is the y-intercept.
Let's find the value of m first using the gradient formula.
Gradient= 
y= -2x +c
To find the value of c, substitute a pair of coordinates.
When x= -1, y=3,
3= -2(-1) +c
3= 2 +c
c= 3 -2
c= 1
Thus the equation of the line is y= -2x +1.
Given that an animal shelter houses three kinds of animals: dogs, cats and rabbits and it has a total of 126 animals. 1/3 of the animals are cats. This means, 1/3 of 126 is 42. So there are 42 cats. 3/4 of the remaining animals, which is 84 are dogs. So 3/4 of 84 is 63. So there are 63 dogs. 63 dogs plus 42 cats is 105 animals. 126 minus 105 is 21. Therefore, there are only 21 rabbits. Hope this helps.
Thank you very much and this “question” was very helpful for me.
His basic salary is $ 2,500, his commission on sales is 3% (on sales only)
At the end of te month he got $3,040
Let x be the TOTAL sales performed during this month, so the money generated from sales (only) is (x).(3%), Hence the equation:
2500 + (x).(3%) = 3040
2500 + x(0.03) = 3040
x(0.03) = 3040-2500
x(0.03) = 540
and x = 540/0.03
x = $18,000
