Answer:

It intersects the x-axis at x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Find slope <em>m</em>

m = (5 - 1)/(5 - 9)

m = 4/-4

m = -1

y = -x + b

Step 2: Find <em>b</em>

5 = -5 + b

b = 10

Step 3: Rewrite equation

y = -x + 10

Step 4: Find <em>x</em> when <em>y</em> = 0

0 = -x + 10

-10 = -x

x = 10

So the graph crosses the x-axis at 10.

Answer:

y = -2x+11

Step-by-step explanation:

If we have a slope and a line, we can use the slope intercept form of a line

y-y1 = m(x-x1)

where (x1,y1) is the point and m is the slope.


Substitute in what we know

y-5 = -2 (x-3)

We want it in slope intercept form which is y = mx+b

Distribute the -2

y-5 = -2x+6

Add 5 to each side

y-5+5 = -2x +11

ANEK [815]
For the answer to the question above asking, w<span>hat was the price per can and the numbers of cans purchased each time?
let x be the number of cans he bought
the let us go to the 2nd statement which is t</span><span>he next time Ian purchased frozen orange juice, the price had increased by $0.10 per can and he bought 1 less can for the same total price.
The equation for this is .10(x-1) = 24
So now let's solve, 
</span> .10(x-1) = 24
.10x - .10 = 24
.10x = 24+ .10
.10x = 24.10
Then divide both sides by .10
So the answer for this question is 
241 cans of juice
