Answer:

A. -12 meters

B. 28 meters

C. 40 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface of the ocean would be 0.

Taking this into account, 12 meters below would be 0 - 12, which is -12. Therefore A's elevation would be -12.

For the sea bird, 28 meters above the surface, which is again 0, would be 0 + 28. B's elevation is 28.

Since the fish is 12 meters below the surface and the sea bird is 28 meters above the surface, simply add the two numbers up to get a total of 40 meters. C would be 40 meters.

Using a system of equations, it is found that the unit prices are:

$2.25 for a bag of chips.

$1.50 for a liter of pop.

$1.75 for a chocolate bar.

For the system:

x is the unit price of a bag of chips.

y is the unit price of liter of pop.

z is the unit price for a chocolate bar.

From the table, the equations are:

$2x + 2y + z = 9.25$

$3x + 4y + z = 14.50$

$x + 3y + 3z = 12$

Replacing the <u>first equation on the second and the third:</u>

$z = 9.25 - 2x - 2y$

$3x + 4y + z = 14.50$

$3x + 4y + 9.25 - 2x - 2y = 14.50$

$x + 2y = 5.25$

$x = 5.25 - 2y$

$x + 3y + 3z = 12$

$x + 3y + 3(9.25 - 2x - 2y) = 12$

$-5x - 3y = -15.75$

$5x + 3y = 15.75$

Since $x = 5.25 - 2y$ :

$5(5.25 - 2y) + 3y = 15.75$

$-7y = -10.5$

$y = \frac{10.5}{7}$

$y = 1.5$

Then:

$x = 5.25 - 2y = 5.25 - 2(1.5) = 2.25$

$z = 9.25 - 2x - 2y = 9.25 - 2(2.25) - 2(1.5) = 1.75$

The unit prices are:

$2.25 for a bag of chips.

$1.50 for a liter of pop.

$1.75 for a chocolate bar.

Answer:

equation for line: y = 5/3x -7/3

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for a linear line is y = mx + c. m is the gradient of the line, also known as slope. So, m = 5/3.

Next we need to find c. Since we know a point the line must intersect, we can sub this into our line equation to get an answer:

(2,1) x=2,y=1

1 = 5/3*2 + c

1 = 10/3 + c

1 - 10/3 = c

3/3 - 10/3 = c

-7/3 = c

The final eqaution of the line is: y = 5/3x -7/3
