A particular chemistry book costs $6 less than a particular physics book, while two such chemistry books and three such physics
1 answer:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's say the Physics book costs $x
The Chemistry book will cost $x - $6
Two such Chemistry books will cost;
2($x - $6) = $(2x - 12)
Three such Physics books cost $3x
$(2x - 12) + $3x = $123
$5x - $12 = $123
$5x = $111
x = $22
So the Physics book costs; $22
and the Chemistry book costs $22 - 6 = $16

Place a point at (0,-5) because that is the y-intercept (the -5 on the vertical line)
Since the slope is negative two which can be re-written as -2/1 (rise/run) you go down two and to the right once or up two and to the left once, it doesn't matter which. Another point can be placed at (1,-7) or (-3,-1), it still doesn't matter which.
Then you can draw a line connecting the two points.
I hope this helps :)
