27 students is basically the sum of their ratios 4:5

We can define the proportion with an arbitary variable x ->


4x:5x


Which is the ratio of packed to bought lunch. Therefore, 4x + 5x = 9x. 9x =27
x=3

The students that bought their lunch were the 5x group, therefore 15 students bought lunch.

How do you put 2x+y=2 into slope intercept form
marshall27 [118]

In this question, you're trying to transform the equation into slope intercept form.

Slope intercept form equation:

y = mx + b

In this case, you would need to get the "y" variable by itself.

To do so, you would subtract -2x from both sides:

2x + y = 2

y = -2x + 2

Answer:

y = -2x + 2
