Shown below

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The stairway to a cellar has a slope of -4/3, that is:

m=-\frac{4}{3}

On the other hand, the cellar is 2m below the ground. In other words:

y-intercept: \\ \\ b=-2

So this can be modeled by the equation of the line:

y=-\frac{4}{3}x-2

The line has a y-intercept at point (0, -2) and as x increases 3 units y decreases 4 units. So:

x=3 \\ \\ y=-\frac{4}{3}(3)-2=-6 \\ \\ (3,-6) \ is \ also \ a \ point \ on \ the \ line

Finally, let's draw a line that passes through:

(0,-2) \ and \ (3,-6)

By using graphing tool, we get the line shown below.

What is the solution of the system
Fantom [35]
Y-2x=8
16+4x=2y
Rearrange the first equation equal to y
Y=2x+8
Sub the rearranged equation into the second equation and solve for x
16+4x=2(2x+8)
16+4x=4x+16
16-16=4x-4x
0=0
There would be no solution

$30 per hour it cut off pls help i give brainlest if it’s correct
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

t  = 4 h

Step-by-step explanation:

Painter A   initial fee 40 $  and each hour charge 45 $

Painter B   initial fee 100 $ and each hour charge  30 $

The equations for painters are straight lines.

The initial fee is the intercept of the line with the y-axis ( painters receive 40 and 100 $ respectively and they have done nothing.

The equation for a straight line is:

y = m*x + b       where m is the slope and b the intercept with the y-axis

Then

Painter A     when x = 0  y = b = 40

And  each hour of work cost 45 $   then f  x = t  in hours

The equation for Painter A is   y  = 45*t  + 40

Similarly, the equation for Painter B is

y  = 30*t + 100

We have a two equations system, the solution will indicate when the two painters will charge the same amount of money

y  =  45*t  + 40      (1)

y  =  30*t  + 100     (2)

Equation 1 - equation 2

0  =  15*t  - 60

15*t  =  60

t  = 60/15

t  = 4 h
