If you move the negative on the left side of the second equation over to the right side, then we can see that the equation is equivalent to
.
Remember that an equation
represents a line with slope
and y-intercept
. Since both equations given have a slope of -2, but have different y-intercepts, they are
parallel.
Answer:
1) y = -2x - 1
2) y = -3/4 + 3
3) y = 4x + 9
4) y = - 5/3x - 2
Step-by-step explanation:
b = y - m*x
1) (-7,13) and slope: -2
b = 13 - (-2)*(-7)
b = 13 - 14
b = -1
2) (4,6) lope = -3/4
b = 6 - (-3/4)*(-4)
b = 6 - 3
b = 3
y = -3/4x + 3
3) (-5,-11) and (3,-7)
Slope: (1 - - 11)/(-2 - - 5) = 12/3
= 4
b = -11 - (4) (-5) = 9
b = 9
4) slope = (-7 - 8)/(3- - 6)
= -15/9 = - 5/3
b = 8 - (-5/3)*(-6)
b = 8 - 10
b = -2

Answer: Jordan worked for 10 hours and Sydney worked for 6 hours.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of hours
that Jordan worked.
Let x represent the number of hours that Sydney worked.
Jordan can iron 20 shirts per hour, and Sydney can iron 25 shirts per hour. They ironed 350 shirts between them. It means that
20x + 25y = 350- - - - - - - - - - - 1
Jordan worked 4 more hours than Sydney. It means that
x = y + 4
Substituting x = y + 4 into equation 1, it becomes
20(y + 4) + 25y = 350
20y + 80 + 25y = 350
20y + 25y = 350 - 80
45y = 270
y = 270/45
y = 6
x = y + 4 = 6 + 4
x = 10
