Yes, because a rational number is any number that can be expressed as a fraction a/b where a/b are both integers, but cannot be zero.
Answer:
y=-3x+4
Step-by-step explanation:
m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m=(-8-7)/(4-(-1))
m=-15/(4+1)
m=-15/5
m=-3
y-y1=m(x-x1)
y-7=-3(x-(-1))
y-7=-3(x+1)
y=-3x-3+7
y=-3x+4
X=-1 and y=3
To solve this, because y is equal to 2x+5, you can substitute 2x+5 into the bottom equation for y.
You now have 3x - (2x + 5) =-6
This can be solved like a normal equation. Multiply each term in the parenthesis by -1.
3x - 2x - 5 = -6
Subtract 2x from 3x
x - 5 = -6
Add 5 to both sides
x=-1
Now you can solve for y by plugging -1 in for x in either equation. Im going to use the top one.
y= 2(-1)+5
y= -2+5
y=3
You can check your answer by plugging in the values for x and y into both equations and making sure both sides equal each other.
Gizmo can eat 10/3 * 2 = 6 2/3 bowls in 10 minutes
Leo can eat 10/6 * 1 = 1 2/3 bowls in 10 minutes
Together they can eat 8 1/3 bowls in 10 minutes.
