6x^2 + x - 15 = 6x^2 - 9x + 10x - 15 = 3x(2x - 3) + 5(2x - 3) = (3x + 5)(2x - 3)
Therefore, the other factor is 3x + 5.
Point slope formula is y= mx+b. To find the slope, or m, you need to find the "rise over run". rise = y coordinates, run = x coordinates. And the slope equation is y1-y2/x1-x2. So let's say the first point is (x1,y1) and the second is (x2,y2). that would be 35-(-31)/5-(-6)= 66/11 or 6/1 aka up six, across one. That is your slope. So far you have y=6x+b, next plug (5,35) into that equation and solve for b (aka the y intercept). So: 35=6(5)+b. 35-30=b, b=5. So your final equation is y=6x+5.
Answer:
The number of pounds of apples is 4.5 and the number of pounds of grapes is 2.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x ------> the number of pounds of apples
(x-2) -----> the number of pounds of grapes
we know that
Solve for x
so
therefore
The number of pounds of apples is 4.5 and the number of pounds of grapes is 2.5
