Set up two equations:
1st: P (for Price family) + J (for Jenkins family) = 45 hours
2nd: 20P + 35J = 1200 liters
Rewrite the first equation as P = 45 – J
Replace P in the second equation:
20(45-J) + 35J = 1200
Simplify:
900 -20J + 35J = 1200
900 +15J = 1200
Subtract 900 from both sides:
15J = 300
Divide both sides by 15:
J = 300/15
J = 20
Jenkins used theirs for 20 hours
Price used theirs for 45-20 = 25 hours.
The slope-intercept form:
The formula of a slope:
We have the points (-4, 47) and (2, -16). Substitute:
Therefore we have:
Put the coordinates of the point (2, -16) to the equation:
Answer: 
Answer:
1032 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
We have : 5103 - 4071 = 1032(miles)
So he drove more 1032 miles this year than last year
Answer:
Step One: Identify two points on the line.
Step Two: Select one to be (x1, y1) and the other to be (x2, y2).
Step Three: Use the slope equation to calculate slope.
