To find the slope, use the simple rule rise/run. The change in the y value over the change in the x value. The y changes by -1 when the x changes by positive 2. Therefore, the slope is -1/2.
Let 'x' be the problems worth 2 points.
Let 'y' be the problems worth 3 points.
Since, there are 38 total problems.
So,
(equation 1)
x = 38-y
Since, a perfect score is 100 points.
So,
(equation 2)
Substituting the value of 'x', we get



y = 24
x+y = 38
x = 38-24 = 14
So, 14 problems are worth 2 points and 24 problems are worth 3 points.
Answer:
Each hat is $5
Each mask is $3
Step-by-step explanation:
Hat= x dollars
Mask= y dollars
Now,
3 hats and 4 mask sold = $27
We can write
3x + 4y = 27
Adding the second equation (-1 times 1st equation) gives us;
3x + 6y = 33
-1* (3x + 4y = 27)
3x + 6y = 33
-3x -4y = 27
2y = 6
y = 6/2
***y = 3***
Now we replace y= 3 into 1st equation and solve for x:
3x + 4y = 27
3x + 4(3) = 27
3x + 12 = 27
3x + 15
x = 15/3
***x= 5***
Each hat costs $5
Each mask costs $3
