When writing an equation of a line, keep in mind that you ALWAYS need two pieces of information when you go to write an equation:
1. ANY point on the line
2. Slope (m)
3. Y-intercept (b)
Once you have these two pieces of information, you plug the x and y values from your point and the slope (m) value into the slope-intercept form, y = mx + b.
Start by solving for the slope of each line. We need two ordered pairs (x, y) from each line to solve for the slope:
Offer A:
(0, 400) and (80, 700)
Let (x1, y1) = (0, 400)
(x2, y2) = (80,700)
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
m = (700 – 400)/(80 – 0) = 300/80 = 15/4
Therefore, the slope (m) for Offer A = 15/4
Next, we need the y-intercept. The y-intercept is the y-coordinate of the point where the graph of the linear equation crosses the y-axis. The y-intercept is also the value of y when x = 0. One of the points we used for solving the slope for Offer A reflects the description for the y-intercept, which is point (0, 400). The y-coordinate is 400–this is the y-intercept of the line.
Now, we can establish the linear equation for Offer A: y = 15/4x + 400
Do the same steps for the other offer:
Offer B:
(0, 500)) and (100,900)
Let (x1, y1) = (0, 500)
(x2, y2) = (100,900)
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
m = (900 - 500)/(100 – 0) = 400/100 = 4
Therefore, the slope for Offer B is 4.
Next, we need the y-intercept. For Offer B, the line crosses at point (0, 500). The y-coordinate, 500 is the y-intercept (b) of the line.
The linear equation for Offer B is:
y = 4x + 500
**NOTE: please double-check the coordinates that I used for solving the slopes of each line before using my inputs. I had a slight difficulty going through the coordinates of your graph because it’s a bit blurry (using my phone to write this post).

Answer:
975
Step-by-step explanation:
650/(2/3)=650(3/2)=325(3)=975
Answer:
<em>f(x) = 1/2x + 4</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
The rise of the function is 1 and the run is 2, so our slope is .5 or 1/2!
The function crosses the y-intercept at point (0,4) so our b value is positive 4!
Answer:
1
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope of the line (when in point-slope form) will be the coefficient of the term on the right side of the equation. In this case that is 1.
Ok. You can use equations to find out what number of each meal was eaten.
x*14+y*17=99
If you solve for x and y (I used guess and check- there's only a few possible combinations) and got one chicken dinner and five steak dinners.
