Explanation:

Any situation in which 40 items are divided into 8 or 5 divisions will be modeled by an equation of this sort. A couple of possibilities are ...

"There are 40 in all, and 8 in each group. How many groups are there?"
"There are 40 in all, divided into 8 groups. How many are in each group?"

The "items" could be any sort of units of measure: beads, people, tickets, feet, yards, square miles, cubic millimeters, stars in the sky, whatever. The idea is that grouping by 8 or 5 gives you 5 or 8 groups, respectively.

Which linear equations does the graph show the solution to? Select all that apply. y = 2x + 13 y = –x – 2 y = 3x – 5 y = negativ

salantis [7]

Answer:

y = 2x + 13

y = –x – 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The options are:

y = 2x + 13

y = -x - 2

y = 3x - 5

y= -(1/2)x + 6

y = -2x - 2

The graph is shown in the figure attached. There, point (-5, 3) is shown. Replacing it into the equations we get:

y = 2(-5) + 13 = 3 (so, it is a solution)

y = -(-5) - 2 = 3 (so, it is a solution)

y = 3(-5) - 5 = -20 ≠ 3 (so, it isn't a solution)

y= -(1/2)(-5) + 6 = 8.5 ≠ 3 (so, it isn't a solution)

y = -2(-5) - 2 = 8 ≠ 3 (so, it isn't a solution)

3. A group of workers is harvesting berries at a constant rate. An equation that represents the number of baskets of berries the

grin007 [14]

In y = mx + b form, the slope can be found in the m position and the y intercept can be found in the b position.

y = mx + b

y = 2x + 15

slope(m) = 2 and y int (b) = 15

The initial amount is the y intercept, which is 15. The rate of change (the slope) is 2

example :

baskets picked in 1 hr :

y = 2(1) + 15

y = 2 + 15

y = 17

baskets picked in 2 hrs :

y = 2(2) + 15

y = 4 + 15

y = 19

so the slope ( rate of change) is basically saying for every hr of picking, you pick 2 baskets...so your picking 2 baskets per hr.

The y intercept (15) is telling us that they already had 15 baskets to start with.
