Given:
For every 3 seeds Lara planted, only 2 seeds grew.
Altogether, 12 seeds grew.
To find:
The number of total seeds planted by Lara.
Solution:
It is given that for every 3 seeds Lara planted, only 2 seeds grew. It means the ratio of total seeds planted to seeds grew is 3:2.
Altogether, 12 seeds grew.
Let x be the number of total seeds planted by Lara. Then,
Therefore, the total number of seeds planter by Lara is 18.
Green Line:
This is a horizontal line at x = 0, so it would be:
x ? 0
Since the shaded area is going to the left of 0 (this means x is negative):
x ≤ 0
Blue Line:
The shaded area is below the line, so:
y ≤ mx + b
When x = 0, y is -5.
y ≤ mx - 5
From each point, you go up 3 units, and to the right 4 units, so the slope is .
