I believe the answer you are looking for is -20.
Answer:
y intercept is -5 and slope is 6/1
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to answer this question let's suppose,
Joe is x miles from the beginning and y miles from the end. These assumptions are necessary to answer further:
Now,
x=2y
x+y=30
plugging in x=2y in the above equation
2y+y=30
3y=30
y=10
Hence, according to our calculations, Joe has to hike 10 miles further
Moving left subtracts from the x value the number you move.
In (2,9) the x value is the number 2
You move 1 unit to the left so subtract 1 from 2:
2-1 = 1
You will be at (1,9)
