So Abby hasn't received 60% of her order, BUT she already got 80 lobsters, hmmmmm well, 100% - 60% is just 40%, so she already got the 40%, which incidentally is 80 lobsters. Let's say the whole order, or 100% of it is "x" lobsters.
if 80 lobsters are 40%, what is "x"?
if 80 lobsters are 40%, what is "x"?
Answer:
1/3 is the slope.
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we need to find the y-intercept of x + 4y = 20.
x + 4y = 20
Subtract x from both sides.
4y = -x + 20
Divide both sides by 4.
y = -1/4x + 5
Input 0 as x to find the y-intercept.
y = -1/4(0) + 5
Simplify.
y = 5
Now we know the y-intercept is (0,5). Now we need to include to find a slope that contains (0,5) and (3,6). We can use the slope formula:
(5 - 6)/(0 - 3) = m
-1/-3 = m
Simplify.
1/3 = m
1/3 is the slope.
