Answer:

x= -13

y= -28

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the two numbers, write a system of equations with x as one number and y as another:

x-y=15

5x=2y-9

Use substitution to substitute one equation into another. Then solve for the variable.

x=15+y into 5x=2y-9

becomes

5(15+y) = 2y-9

75+5y = 2y- 9

75+3y= -9

3y = -84

y= -28

To find x, substitute y= -28 into one equation.

x - (-28) = 15

x+28 =15

x = 15-28

x=-13

A teacher writes a simple computer program where she can type students name and computer tells her the students birthday.

Vikki [24]

Considering that each student has only one birthday, each input will be related to only one output, hence this relation is a function.

<h3>When does a relation represent a function?</h3>

A relation represents a function when each value of the input is mapped to only one value of the output.

For this problem, we have that:

The input is the student's name.

The output is the student's birthday.

Each student has only one birthday, hence each input will be related to only one output, hence this relation is a function.

Jolene is making a line graph showing that the cost of grain is proportional to the number of pounds purchased. Jolene will plot

Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

a. $(1,0.25)$

b. $y = 0.25x$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The data in the table

Solving (a): The coordinate that represents the unit rate

The unit rate is when its 1 pound

This is so because the unit rate is dollars per pounds.

<em>Hence, the coordinate is </em> $(1,0.25)$ <em></em>

Solving (b): Equation of the graph

First, we calculate the slope (m)

$m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

Where:

$(x_1,y_1) = (1,0.25)$

$(x_2,y_2) = (4,1.00)$

$m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

$m = \frac{1.00 - 0.25}{4 - 1}$

$m = \frac{0.75}{3}$

$m = 0.25$

The equation is then calculated as thus:

$y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)$

This gives:

$y - 0.25 = 0.25(x - 1)$

$y - 0.25 = 0.25x - 0.25$

Make y the subject

$y = 0.25x$

<em>Hence, the equation of the graph is: </em> $y = 0.25x$ <em></em>
