When a linear equation is in the form y = mx + c, the c, or constant, is the intercept on the y axis, meaning it crosses the y axis at (0, 1).
The gradient (1/3 in this case) is how much the y increments (or decrements) per increase of 1 of the value of x.
This would mean that there would be one point at (0, 1), and another at (3, 2). Draw a line from these two points and beyond, and that is the graph sketched.
50 plants total, 40% are vegetables
40% = 40/100 = 0.40
40% of 50 = 0.40*50 = 20
<h3>Answer: There are 20 vegetable plants</h3>
Answer: y = 5x + 13
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Parallel means it has the same slope.
Given line y = 5x + 5 --> the slope is 5, so parallel slope is 5
Use the Point-Slope formula: y - y₁ = m(x - x₁) such that
y + 2 = 5(x + 3) <em>input m and (x₁, y₁) into the Point-Slope formula</em>
y + 2 = 5x + 15 <em>distributed</em>
y = 5x + 13 <em>subtracted 2 from both sides</em>
