Answer:

The equation of the line will be 7y=(-5x)+51

Step-by-step explanation:

If a line passes through two points (x,y) and (x',y') then slope of the line will be = \frac{y-y'}{x-x'}

Now we know the points are (-3,4) and (4,-1) then the slope of the line will be =\frac{4-(-1)}{(-3-4)}=\frac{5}{(-7)} =(-\frac{5}{7})

We know that two parallel lines have the same slope then a line which is passing through a point (-1,8)will be =( -\frac{5}{7})

Let the equation of the line is y=mx+c

Then by putting the value of x,y and m we can get the value of c.

8=(-\frac{5}{7})+c

c=8-\frac{5}{7} \\c=\frac{56-5}{7} =\frac{51}{7}

Then equation will be y=(-\frac{5}{7})x+\frac{51}{7}

7y=(-5x)+51

LiRa [457]
I'll be honest, this is a pretty interesting question. I've never seen anything like it before!

We can start off by making equations with the given. If there are 100 heads, that means that the total number of chickens and pigs combined is 100. Thus, we can form our first equation:

p + c = 100
('p' represents number of pigs, and 'c' represents number of chickens)

We also know that there are 270 legs total. Since chickens have 2 and pigs have 4, we can make the following equation:
2c + 4p = 270

I suppose the quickest way to solve for this equation is to use the subtraction method. Put the equations on top of each other:

2c + 4p = 270
c + p = 100
___________
Multiply the bottom equation by -2;

2c + 4p = 270
-2c -2p = 100
____________
"Add" these two equations together:

2c + 4p = 270
-2c -2p = -200
___________
2p = 70

Divide both sides by 2:
p = 35

Ah, finally. Now that we know that there are 35 pigs, input this variable into the first equation to find the number of chickens:

c + 35 = 100
Subtract:
c = 65

There are 35 pigs and 65 chickens

emmainna [20.7K]
To do this, find the slope, y-intercept, and your goal. 

Your goal is 500. 
Your slope is 6.25 per orange. 
Your y-intercept is 0 (you don't start out with anything.)

So, the inequality is 500 \leq 6.25x.
