The price of less expensive equipment is $1575.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

Price of one equipment = x

Price of other equipment = y

According to given statement;

x+y=4000   Eqn 1

x = y+850    Eqn 2

Putting Eqn 2 in Eqn 1

(y+850)+y=4000\\y+850+y=4000\\2y=4000-850\\2y=3150

Dividing both sides by 2;

\frac{2y}{2}=\frac{3150}{2}\\y=1575

Putting y=1575 in Eqn 2;

x=1575+850\\x=2425

The price of less expensive equipment is $1575.

What is the point-slope form of a line that has a slope of –4 and passes through point (–3, 1)?
dimaraw [331]

Answer:

y - 1 = - 4(x + 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line

Here m = - 4 and (a, b) = (- 3, 1), hence

y - 1 = - 4(x - (- 3)), thus

y - 1 = - 4(x + 3) ← in point- slope form
