Step-by-step explanation:
the general equation of a line is
y = ax + b
a is the slope of the line.
b is the y-intercept (the point, where the line crosses the y-axis, meaning the y value when x=0).
we get b by using the point coordinates in the equation and solve for b :
6 = -3×4 + b = -12 + b
18 = b
so, the full line equation is
y = -3x + 18
which is answer C : 3x + y = 18

Answer: Choice C is correct</h3>
Explanation:
We can think of the square in the middle of the four others as the floor
The surrounding four squares are the walls that fold upward.
The square at the very right side will then form the ceiling.
Side E and side L join at the top left edge.
See the diagram below.

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
the prices were $0.05 and $1.05
Step-by-step explanation:
Let 'a' and 'b' represent the costs of the two sodas. The given relations are ...
a + b = 1.10 . . . . the total cost of the sodas was $1.10
a - b = 1.00 . . . . one soda costs $1.00 more than the other one
__
Adding these two equations, we get ...
2a = 2.10
a = 1.05 . . . . . divide by 2
1.05 -b = 1.00 . . . . . substitute for a in the second equation
1.05 -1.00 = b = 0.05 . . . add b-1 to both sides
The prices of the two sodas were $0.05 and $1.05.

<em>Additional comment</em>
This is a "sum and difference" problem, in which you are given the sum and the difference of two values. As we have seen here, <em>the larger value is half the sum of the sum and difference</em>: a = (1+1.10)/2 = 1.05. If we were to subtract one equation from the other, we would find <em>the smaller value is half the difference of the sum and difference</em>: b = (1.05 -1.00)/2 = 0.05.
This result is the general solution to sum and difference problems.
