Answer:

Sarah multiplied the denominator by the denominator and the numerator by the numerator instead of finding the cross products. The equation should be 5x = 42, so the cost should be $8.40.

How do you write -x+3y=6 in slope intercept form?
Afina-wow [57]

Commenter jdoe said it right: solve for y and leave the rest on the other side.

-x + 3y = 6

3y = 6 + x add x on both sides

3y = x + 6 rearrange to get the x first

y = (x + 6) /3 divide both sides by 3

y = x/3 + 6/3 split the numerator (caution - never split denominators)

y = x/3 + 2 simplify 6/3


Thus the line in slope intercept form of y = mx + b is y = y = \frac{1}{3} x + 2

A pair of equations is shown below:
Oksi-84 [34.3K]
If you graph y=7x-9 and y=3x-1 the two lines will intersect at one point.  That is how you graphically "solve" the system of equations.

Both of these lines are of the form y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

So for y=7x-9, the slope is 7 and the y-intercept is -9

For  y=3x-1, the slope is 3 and the y-intercept is -1

....

The solution for this system occurs when both coordinates are equal to each other so we can say:

7x-9=3x-1  subtract 3x from both sides

4x-9=-1  add 9 to both sides

4x=8  divide both sides by 4

x=2, making y=3x-1 become:

y=3(2)-1=6-1=5, so the solution to the system of equations is:
