The van can carry 6 students and bus can carry 21 students.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

High School A: 12 vans and 11 buses with 303 students

High School B: 6 vans and 7 buses with 183 students

To find the number of students that a van and a bus can carry.

Let us take,

The van can carry x students and the bus can carry y students.

According to the problem,

12x+11y = 303 ------- (1)

6x+7y = 183 ------- (2)

Multiplying 2 with (2) and subtract (1) and (2) we get,

(12x+11y) - 2(6x+7y) = 303-2(183)

or, 12x+11y-12x-14y = 303-366

or, -3y = -63

or, y = 21

From (2) we get,

6x+7(21) = 183

or, 6x = 183-147

or, 6x = 36

or, x = 6

Hence,

The van can carry 6 students and bus can carry 21 students.

What word best describes the slope of the line passing through points (5,12) and (5,-13
Rama09 [41]

The formulat for finding the slop is

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 -x1)

so if we put the values of our two given points

m = (-13 -12) / (5 - 5)  = -25/0 = undefined

so our slop is undefined which means it is a vertical line
