y=-7x+2
m=-7, so that's a negative slope.
b=2, so the y-intercept is (0,2). That's a postiive y-intercept.
Solve 0=-7x+2 to find the x-intercept.
7x=2
x=2/7
The x-intercept is (2/7,0), so that's a positive x-intercept.

Answer:
$125 per year
Step-by-step explanation:
In the 2 years from 2015 to 2017, the spending on lunches increased by ...
$800 -550 = $250
That is an average per year of ...
$250/(2 yr) = $125/yr . . . . average dollar increase per year
_____
<em>Additional comment</em>
For costs, it is often true that they follow an exponential curve, not a linear one. Ed's spending increased by a factor of 800/550 = 16/11 in the two years, so an average percentage increase of √(16/11) -1 = 20.6% per year.

Answer:
13 and 16
Step-by-step explanation:
let the 2 parts be x and y, then
x + y = 29 → (1) and
x² + y² = 425 → (2)
From (1) → x = 29 - y → (3)
substitute x = 29 - y into (2)
(29 - y)² + y² = 425 ( expand factor )
841 - 58y + y² + y² = 425 ( rearrange into standard form )
2y² - 58y + 416 = 0 ← in standard quadratic form
divide all terms by 2
y² - 29y + 208 = 0
Consider the factors of 208 which sum to - 29
These are - 13 and - 16, hence
(y - 13)(y - 16) = 0
equate each factor to zero and solve for y
y - 13 = 0 ⇒ y = 13
y - 16 = 0 ⇒ y = 16
substitute these values into (3)
x = 29 - 13 = 16 and x = 29 - 16 = 13
The 2 parts are 13 and 16
