Answer: A pear cost $4.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the total price of four oranges and five pears is $32 then we could represent it by the equation  4x + 5y = 32   where x is cost of one orange and y is the cost of one pear.

The same way we could represent the second statement by the equation

3x + 2y = 17      

We know have the two systems of equations:

4x + 5y = 32

3x + 2y = 17         Solve using the elimination method

  Multiply the top equation by -3 and the down equation by 4 to eliminate x.

-3(4x + 5y) = -3(32) =  -12x - 15y = -96

 4(3x +2y) = 4(17)  =   12x + 8y = 68    

We now have the two new equations:

-12x -15y = -96      Add both equations

12x + 8y = 68            

      - 7y = -28

     y= 4    

Which means the cost of one pear is $4.

Find the equation of the line using the point-slope formula. Write the final equation using the slope-intercept form. the x-inte
wariber [46]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given x intercept is 1, So (x,y) is (1,0)

When x intercept is 1 then y  value is 0

Another point on the line is (-2,3)

Two points are (1,0) and (-2,3)

Find out slope using the two given points

slope m=\frac{y_{2}-y_1}{x_2-x_1} =\frac{3-0}{-2-1} =-1\\m=-1

Use point slope formula

m=-1 and point(1,0)

y-y_{1}=m(x-x_{1})\\y-0=-1(x-1)\\y=-1x+1

Point slope equation is

y-0=-1(x-1)

Equation of the line in slope intercept form is

y=-1x+1
