Hope that answers your question
Y = 2/3x - 2....the y int here is -2
and u want a line with a slope of -2/3 and a y int of -2...
y = -2/3x - 2.....so u have a slope of -2/3 (means ur line is decreasing)....and a y int of -2...means ur line crosses the y axis at (0,-2)
ur x int can be found by subbing in 0 for y and solving for x
0 = -2/3x - 2
2/3x = -2
x = -2 * 3/2
x = - 3.....and u have an x int(where ur line crosses the x axis) at (-3,0)
so ur graph for this is : the 4th graph...the last one
1 ft = 12 inches......1 yd = 36 inches
carol has 54 inches
Tino has 7.5 ft......7.5 * 12 = 90 inches
baxter has 3.5 yds......3.5 * 36 = 126 inches
for a total of : (54 + 90 + 126) = 270 inches total <===
1 ft = 12 inches....so 270 inches = 270/12 = 22.5 ft <==
1 yd = 36 inches..so 270 inches = 270/36 = 7.5 yds <==
