Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
y = -5x - 17
in y = mx + b form, the y int is in the m position
y = mx + b
y = -5x - 17......so the y int (b) = -17 or (0,-17) <=== y intercept
u can also find the y intercept by subbing in 0 for x and solving for y
u can find the x intercept by subbing in 0 for y and solving for x
y = -5x - 17
0 = -5x - 17
5x = -17
x = -17/5......so the x intercept is -17/5 or (0,-17/5) <==== x intercept
X = amount of the 18% solution
y = amount of the 40% solution
we know the 18% solution has only 18% of alcohol, the rest is maybe water or something, now, how many liters is 18%? well, 18% of anything is just (18/100) * anything, so, 18% of x is just (18/100) *x or 0.18x, and that's how many liters are there.
likewise, how many liters are there in the 40% solution? well, (40/100) * y, or 0.4y, that many.
we know the mixture has to yield 10 liters at 20% alcohol, how many liters of only alcohol is that? well, (20/100) * 10, or 2 liters.
how much of the 40% solution? well y = 10 - x
Another point on the line is (6,-1)
