So it went from 1/3 full to 3/4 full when 10 gallons were put in, so.... what fraction is 10 gallons anyway? let's check the
difference.
if say, when full is "x" gallons,
Slope-intercept form: y = mx + b
(m is the slope, b is the y-intercept or the y value when x = 0 --> (0, y) or the point where the line crosses through the y-axis)
For lines to be parallel, they have to have the same slope.
y = 6x + 6 The slope of this line is 6, so the parallel line's slope is also 6.
Now that you know m = 6, substitute/plug it into the equation:
y = mx + b Plug in 6 for "m" in the equation
y = 6x + b To find "b", plug in the point (20, 1) into the equation
1 = 6(20) + b
1 = 120 + b Subtract 120 on both sides to get "b" by itself
1 - 120 = 120 - 120 + b
-119 = b Now that you know b = -119, plug it into the equation
y = 6x - 119
Answer:
3 boxes.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent number of 1.2 pounds boxes.
We have been given that Mr. Smith has 15.6 pounds of oranges to pack for shipment. He can ship 2.4 pounds of oranges in a large box and 1.2 pounds in a small box.
The oranges covered in x small boxes would be
Oranges packed in 5 large boxes would be .
We can represent our given information in an equation as:
Therefore, the minimum number of small boxes required to ship the rest of the oranges would be 3 boxes.
Answer:
equation of the line that passes through (2,7) and (7,12) is y=x+5
Part A: Equation 1: 20x +120
Equation 2: 25x +80
( I think this is the answer)
Part B:
