A Prime Number can be divided evenly only by 1 or itself.
And it must be a whole number greater than 1.
Well, we can see that the y-intercept is (0, -4) which means that the line must be:
y=mx-4
And since only one answer has -4 as the y-intercept, y=x-4 is the answer :P
Since there are more parakeets than canaries, it is not possible to have only 1 of each bird in each cage <u>and</u> have the same number of birds in each cage.
He could use 42 cages, putting a canary in with the parakeet in 18 of them. Then he would have 18 cages with 2 birds each, and 24 cages with 1 bird each.
The only way to have the same number of birds (1) in all cages is to have 60 cages, 42 of which have 1 parakeet, and 18 of which have 1 canary.
_____
If more than 1 of each kind of bird can be put in the cage, the collection of birds could be put into 6 cages, each of which would be home to 7 parakeets and 3 canaries.
5/9, is what it should be
