Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
Here m = - 2 and c = - 2 , then
y = - 2x - 2 ← is the equation of the line
To find the x- intercept let y = 0 in the equation and solve for x , that is
- 2x - 2 = 0 ( add 2 to both sides )
- 2x = 2 ( divide both sides by - 2 )
x = - 1
The x- intercept is - 1 → B
Answer:
$3.00
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1. Calculate the <em>pounds of broccoli</em>.
Start with what you know: you want 32 oz of broccoli.
You know that 1 lb = 16 oz. Calculate the weight in pounds
Wt = 32 × 1/16
Wt = 2 lb
===============
Step 2. Calculate the <em>cost of the broccoli</em>.
$1.50 = 1 lb Calculate the cost
Cost = 2 × 1.50/1
Cost = $3.00
-(3/4) (12)+1 = -9+1=. -8
Answer:
x = 25/3; y = -5/3
Step-by-step explanation:
You did well so far by multiplying both sides of the first equation by 2.
Now notice that you have -2y in the new first equation and 2y in the second equation. -2y and 2y add to 0.
Now add the equations to eliminate y.
2x - 2y = 20
(+) 4x + 2y = 30
-------------------------
6x = 50
6x/6 = 50/6
x = 50/6 = 25/3
2x - 2y = 20
2(25/3) - 2y = 20
50/3 - 2y = 60/3
-2y = 60/3 - 50/3
-2y = 10/3
-2y/2 = (10/3)/(-2)
y = -5/3
Solution: x = 25/3; y = -5/3
