Answer:
Slope is defined as rise over run, which can be expressed as the difference of the y-coordinates divided by the difference of the x-coordinates. If we rise, we are moving vertically, or along the y-axis. If we run, we are moving horizontally, or along the x-axis.
The formula for the slope m of a line given two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) that lie on the line is:
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
m = (15 - 5)/(-6 - 4)
m= 10/-10
m = -1
Now, we can use the slope-intercept form of the equation of a line to obtain the equation of the line that satisfies the conditions outlined in the problem. Slope-intercept form is:
y = mx + b
Again, m represents the slope, while b stands for the y-intercept. We can use either point on the line to represent x and y. Let's choose the point (4, 5)
5 = -1(4) + b
5 = -4 + b
9 = b
The equation of the line is:
y = -x + 9
I think it’s b because it would make the most sense I believe but I’m really sorry if I’m wrong
Answer:
option c
Step-by-step explanation:
option c is right..
Answer:
each notebook costs $2.70
each pack of pencils costs $1.50
Step-by-step explanation:
system of equations:
let p = pack of pencils
let n = notebook
3p + 5n = 18
4p + 4n = 16.8
I used the elimination method by multiplying the first equation by 4 and the second equation by -3
4(3p + 5n = 18) = 12p + 20n = 72
-3(4p + 4n = 16.8) = -12p -12n = -50.4
adding the new equations together you get: 8n = 21.6
n = 21.6/8
n = $2.70
solve for 'p':
3p + 5(2.7) = 18
3p + 13.5 = 18
3p = 4.5
p = $1.50
9) Because the total number of pencils is 180 and you will use them up in 30 days, the equation will have to equal 0 total pencils when 30 is substituted in for the time factor, or x. This already takes our choice 3 because it doesn’t meet this criteria.
The answer to how many pencils in 20 days could be answered by plugging in 20 for x. Choice 4 cannot work because it results in a negative number of pencils. Choices 1 and 2 use the same equation, so by plugging in 20 it is clear choice 2 is the correct answer.
10) A line parallel to the go en equation would have the same slope, -3, which means choices 1 and 4 are out. Plug in (-2,5) into both choices 2 and 3. Plugging -2 into x in choice 2 gives -5, and in choice 3 gives 5 for the y value. Therefore choice 3 is correct.
