Lets make the cost of the algebra textbook = x and the cost of the geometry book = y

2x+3y=64
4x+2y=66

now we get one of these equations in terms of one variable

2x+3y=64 ---> 2x=64-3y ---> x=32-1.5y

now we can plug that numeric value back into the other equation

4(32-1.5y)+2y=66

we can now simplify this equation in order to get the value of y

4(32-1.5y)+2y=66 ---> 128-6y+2y=66 ---> 128-4y=66 ---> -4y=-64 ---> y=16

Find the equation of the line that passes through the points (-5,7) and (2,3)
Olegator [25]

Answer:

y=-\frac{4}{7}x+4\frac{1}{7}

Step-by-step explanation:

So, in order to solve this problem, I started off by drawing it out. On my graph that I have attached below, I first started out by locating the points (-5,7) and (2,3). Now, this is an optional step, but I highly encourage practicing your graphing skills by solving this problem on graph paper as well. Next, I connected the two points that I just graphed. This is the line that passes through (-5,7) and (2,3).

Now, here is where the actual solving starts. If you haven't already been taught this yet, I will introduce it to you now. I am going to find the equation of this line by filling in what I know in the equation y=mx+b, where m= the slope of the line, and b= y intercept.

Slope of the line: m= \frac{y_{1} - y_{2}  }{x_{1} - x_{2}  } = \frac{7-3}{-5-2} = \frac{4}{-7}= -\frac{4}{7}

If you haven't been taught how to find the slope of a line I recommend you find out.

Substitute the slope into the equation.

y=-\frac{4}{7} x+b\\

Now, we will solve for the 'b,' or y intercept.

We already have x and y values to use: (-5,7) or (2,3). I'll use x=2 and y=3 to solve for the y intercept.

y=-\frac{4}{7} x+b\\\\3=-\frac{4}{7} *2+b\\\\3=-\frac{8}{7} +b\\b=3+\frac{8}{7} \\b=\frac{21}{7}+\frac{8}{7}=\frac{29}{7} =4\frac{1}{7} \\b=4\frac{1}{7}

Last step: substitute the slope and y intercept into y=mx+b.

y=mx+b\\y=-\frac{4}{7}x+4\frac{1}{7}

That is the answer to this problem.

I hope this helps.
