Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for y and look at the coefficient of x.

y -2x = -3 . . . . . . divide by 5

y = 2x -3 . . . . . . add 2x

The coefficient of x is the slope: 2.

_____

On a graph, the slope is the rise divided by the run. For the two marked points on this graph, the rise is 2 and the run is 1, so the slope is ...

m = 2/1 = 2

Suppose you invest a certain amount of money in account that earns 3% annual interest. You also invest that same amount + $2000

Greeley [361]

First account: $6500
Second account: $8500

Set x is amount of money in first account
=> x + 2000 is money in second account.
X*3% + (x+2000)*4% = 535
=> x = (53500 - 8000) / 7
X = 45500 / 7 = 6500
=> account #1 = x = 6500
Acc #2 = x + 2000 = 6500 + 2000 = 8500
