We can use elimination for these set of systems.
First, we need to set up our variables.
Belts=b
Hats=h
Now, the situation is 6 belts and 8 hats for $140. The situation after is 9 belts and 6 hats for $132.
Let’s set up our system of equations.
6b+8h=140
9b+6h=132
We need to eliminate a variable. Since b has coefficients of 6 and 9, we can easily eliminate b by multiplying the top equation by 3 and the bottom by -2.
18b+24h=420
-18b-12h=-264
Now let’s add.
12h=156
Let’s divide to get h by itself.
156/12=13=h
So a hat costs $13. We need to put in 13 for one of the equations so we can find the cost of a belt.
9b+6(13)=132
9b+78=132
We need b by itself.
9b=54
54/9=6
Belts are $6
We can also use the first equation to check our answers.
6(6)+8(13)
36+104
140.
So, the price of a belt is $6 while the price of a hat is $13.

Which is the equation of a line with a slope of -1/3 and a y-intercept at (0,1)?
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

The answer is

\huge \boxed{y =  -  \frac{1}{3}x + 1 }

Step-by-step explanation:

To find an equation of a line given the slope and a point we use the formula

y -  y_1 = m(x -  x_1)

where

m is the slope

( x1 , y1) is the point

From the question the point is (0,1) and slope - 1/3

The equation is

y - 1 =  -  \frac{1}{3}(x - 0) \\ y - 1 =  -  \frac{1}{3} x

We have the final answer as

y =  -  \frac{1}{3} x + 1 \\

Hope this helps you

What quadrent is (-2,7) in
lawyer [7]
Quadrant 2.

This is because the x-value is negative, and therefore is on the left side of the axis; and the y-value is positive, and therefore is on the top side of the axis. Putting this together, we find that (-2.7) is in Quadrant 2.
