Answer:
The answer to your question is y = 4/3x + 1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Data
Point A = (2, 3)
Point B = (5, 7)
Process
1.- Calculate the slope
x1 = 2 y1 = 3
x2 = 5 y2 = 7
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
- Substitution
m = (7 - 3)/(5 - 2)
- Slope
m = 4/3
2.- Find the equation of the line
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y - 3 = 4/3(x - 2)
y - 3 = 4/3x - 8/3
y = 4/3x - 8/3 + 3
y = 4/3x - 8/3 + 9/3
y = 4/3x + 1/3
You would solve this with simultaneous equations, so if we write it as:
5n + 2p = 9
3n + 2p = 6
(subtract)
2n = 3
÷ 2
notebooks = 1.5
Now you would substitute it in:
(3 × 1.5) + 2p = 6
4.5 + 2p = 6
- 4.5
2p = 1.5
÷ 2
pens = 0.75
So your final answer is notebooks are $1.50 and pens are $0.75, I hope this helps!
