Answer:

x = 2.25 y = 0.75

Step-by-step explanation:

2x = 9.5- 5

2x = 4.5

x = 4.5 ÷ 2

x = 2.25

know we now what is x so in the second one we evaluate x

3(2.25) + 5y = 10.5

6.75 + 5y = 10.5

5y = 10.5- 6.75

5y = 3.75

y = 3.75 ÷ 5

y = 0.75

that's it !

if you want to check your answer you can evaluate x and y so it will be like

2×2.25 + 5

= 4.5 + 5 = 9.5

and

3× 2.25 +5×0.75

= 6.75 + 3.75 = 10.5

The profit y (in dollars) for a business from selling x coats is represented by y=56x . Graph the equation.

Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

The graph of the equation is also attached.

From the graph, it is clear that at x = 0, the value of y = 0

Hence, the line passes through the origin with the y-intercept 0.

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of the line equation

$y = mx+b$

where

m is the slope

b is the y-intercept

Given that the profit y (in dollars) for a business from selling x coats is represented by the equation

$y=56x$

comparing with the slope-intercept form of the line equation

m = 56

<u>Determining the y-intercept</u>

We know that the value of the y-intercept can be determined by setting x = 0 and determining the corresponding value of y.

substitute x = 0 in the equation

y = 56(0)

y = 0

Thus, the y-intercept b = 1

Thus,

The equation y = 5x has:

The slope m = 56

The y-intercept b = 1

The graph of the equation is also attached.

From the graph, it is clear that at x = 0, the value of y = 0

Hence, the line passes through the origin with the y-intercept 0.

MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x/y = 4

x=4y

x - y = 39

4y - y = 39

How can you represent all of the solutions to systems of inequalities?

Dimas [21]

Answer:A closed, or shaded, circle is used to represent the inequalities greater than or equal to (≥) or less than or equal to (≤) . The point is part of the solution. An open circle is used for greater than (>) or less than (<). The point is not part of the solution. Solving" systems of linear inequalities means "graphing each individual inequality, and then finding the overlaps of the various solutions". So I graph each inequality, and then find the overlapping portions of the solution regions.Step 1: Line up the equations so that the variables are lined up vertically. Step 2: Choose the easiest variable to eliminate and multiply both equations by different numbers so that the coefficients of that variable are the same. Step 3: Subtract the two equations. Step 4: Solve the one variable system.

Line 1 passes through the points -2,7 and 3,3. Line 2 passes through the points 5,1 and 9,1. Find the slope of each line. Which

RSB [31]

Answer:

The slope of the given line 1 is -4/5.

The slope of the given line 2 is 0.

The line 2 has a greater slope then line 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line with points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is given as:

$m = \frac{y_2- y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Now, Here the, points of the line 1 are A (-2,7) and B (3,3)

So, here, the slope of line AB is $m = \frac{3 -7}{3-(-2)} = \frac{-4}{3 +2} = \frac{-4}{5}$

Hence, the slope of the given line 1 is -4/5.

Now, Here the, points of the line 2 are P (5,1) and Q (9,1)

So, here, the slope of line PQ is $m = \frac{1-1}{9-5} = \frac{0}{4} = 0$

Hence, the slope of the given line 2 is 0.

Now, as we can see 0 > ( -4 / 5)

So, the line 2 has a greater slope then line 1.
