X= cost per movie
y= cost per video game

EQUATION 1:
2x + 3y= $21

EQUATION 2:
4x + 8y= $53

STEP 1:
multiply equation 1 by -2.

-2(2x + 3y)= -2($21)
-4x - 6y= -42


STEP 2:
solve linear equations by elimination. use equation 2 and equation answer from step 1. add the two equations together. the x terms will cancel out. solve for y.

4x + 8y= 53
-4x - 6y= -42

2y= 11
divide both sides by 2
y= 11/2
divide
y= $5.5 per video game


STEP 3:
substitute y answer from step 2 into either original equation to solve for x.
2x + 3y= $21
2x + 3(5.50)= 21
2x + 16.50= 21
subtract 16.50 from both sides
2x= 4.50
divide both sides by 2
x= $2.25 per movie


CHECK:
4x + 8y= $53
4(2.25) + 8(5.50)= 53
9 + 44= 53
53= 53


ANSWER: The cost per movie is $2.25 and the cost per video game is $5.50.

Hope this helps! :)

Answer:

A. The y intercept the y coordinate when the line passes through the point that is on the y coordinate and the x is 0. In this context, the y intercept is 10.

B. The slope is the number of units the line goes up every number of units it goes to the right. This line goes up 50 every 20 units to the right so the slope is 50/20 which simplifies to 5/2

C. The equation is y = 5/2x + 10
