Here is the linear equation
Let p = total pounds
Let w = number of weeks
248p - 2w= 10
Hope that helps :)
Answer:
y= 5x+13
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Slope- intercept form</u>
y= mx +b, where m is the gradient and b is the y-intercept.
Parallel lines have the same gradient.
y= 5x +4
Gradient of given line= 5
Thus, gradient of line= 5
Subst. m=5 into the equation.
y= 5x +b
To find the value of b, substitute a coordinate
When x= -2, y=3,
3= 5(-2) +b
3= -10 +b
b= 3 +10 <em>(</em><em>+</em><em>1</em><em>0</em><em> </em><em>on</em><em> </em><em>both</em><em> </em><em>sides</em><em>)</em>
b= 13
Thus, the equation of the line is y= 5x +13.
