Answer:
the point is (3, 3) . . . . . . y = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Write the point-slope equation of the line through the point you know. Then evaluate that equation for x=3 to see what the value of y is.
Point-slope form:
y = m(x -h) +k . . . . slope m through point (h, k)
y = -1/2(x -9) +0 . . . . line with slope -1/2 through point (9, 0)
For x=3, the value of y is ...
y = -1/2(3 -9) + 0 = -1/2(-6) = 3
The value of y is 3.
Let p be the prize of a pen and m the prize of a mechanical pencils. If you buy six pens and one mechanical pencil, you spend 6p+m. We know that this equals 9, because you get 1$ change from a 10$ bill.
Similarly, if you buy four pens and two mechanical pencils, you spend 4p+2m, which is 8$, because now you get a $2 change. Put these equation together in a system:
Now, if you multiply the first equation by 2, the system becomes
Subtract the second equation from the first:
Plug this value into the first equation to get
