Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Passes through: (0, -1)
Parallel to: y = -2x + 7
Required
Determine the line equation
If the line is parallel to y = -2x + 7, then it has the same slope as y = -2x + 7.
For an equation of form:
The slope is m
By comparison:
So, the slope of the extorted is -2.
The equation is then calculated using:
Given:
Mrs. Kato has 6 bags of dried beans and a 2-pound bag of rice in one shopping bag.
In another shopping bag she has a 5-pound bag of flour.
The two shopping bags weigh the same amount.
To find:
The weight of each bag of dried beans.
Solution:
Let x be the weight of each bag of dried beans.
So, weight of 6 bags of dried beans = 6x.
According to the question,
Weight of first bag = (6x + 2) pounds
Weight of second bag = 5 pounds
The two shopping bags weigh the same amount. So,
Divide both sides by 6.
Therefore, the weight of each bag of dried beans is 0.5 pounds.
