Y=mx+b
M equals the slope
B equals the y-intercept So
Y=1x+0

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: 31 mint plants
Step-by-step explanation:
We will have mint plants over total plants:
29/29+29 = 29/58 = 1/2
Now, we will multiply 62 by 1/2 to guess how many mint plants will be stocked.
62* 1/2 = 31
We should expect about 31 plants of the total plants to be mint plants.
Call the number : x
(1/3)x + 5 = x-6
=> (1/3)x + 5 - (x-6) = 0
=> (1/3)x + 5 - x + 6 = 0
Group (1/3)x with -x, 5 with 6
=> [(1/3)x - x] + (5+6) = 0
=> (-2/3)x + 11 = 0
=> (-2/3)x = -11
=> x = -11 : (-2/3) = 33/2.
Recheck : 1/3 x 33/2 + 5 = 33/6 + 5 = 63/6 = 21/2
33/2 - 21/2 = 12/2 = 6 (21/2 is 6 less than 33/2, satisfied.)
