Answer: $9 per hour at his job as a cashier and $8 per hour at his job delivering newspapers.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's call the amount he got paid per hour at his job as a cashier: x.

Let's call the amount he got paid per hour at his job delivering newspapers: y.

2. Keeping on mind the information given in the problem above, you can make the following system of equations:

\left \{ {{5x+4y=77 \atop {6x+3y=78}} \right.

3. You can solve it by applying the Substitution method, as following:

- Solve for one of the variables from one of the equations and substitute it into the other equation to solve for the other variable and calculate its value.

- Substitute the value obtained into one of the original equations to solve for the other variable and calculate its value.

 4. Therefore, you have:

5x+4y=77\\5x=77-4y\\x=\frac{77-4y}{5}=15.4-0.8y

Then:

6(15.4-0.8y)+3y=78\\92.4-4.8y+3=78\\-1.8y=-14.4\\y=8

Finally:

5x+4(8)=77\\5x+32=77\\5x=45\\x=9

Therefore he got paid $9 per hour at his job as a cashier and $8 per hour at his job delivering newspapers.

The slope for 5 and 2
Yuri [45]

\qquad\qquad\huge\underline{{\sf Answer}}♨

As we know, slope (m) is equal to tan θ for a straight line :

\qquad \tt\dashrightarrow \: m = \tan( \theta)

\qquad \tt\dashrightarrow \: m =  \dfrac{5}{2}

So, we can say that it's a positive constant slope

The last one would be negative.

Positive times positive = positive 

Positive times negative = negative

Negative times negative = positive

So basically, if there is an odd number of negatives, then it'll end up negative, with some exceptions. 

So now we know it has to either be the first one or the last one.

The first one is multiplied by 0, so it can't be that one.

So it has to be the last one.
