Answer:
x = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
The 2 equations are
18.20x+19.50y=230.10
and
x+y=12
where x is the months of original cost and y is months for new cost. Since you know that you paid for one year (12 months) you can make the second equation. Then you want to substitute the first equations x by making the second equation
x=(12-y)
18.20(12-y)+19.50y=230.10
218.40-18.20y+19.50y=230.10
1.30y=11.70
y=9
so that means you had the original rate for 3 months and the new one for 9 months
Answer:
- m = (2-(-2))/(2-(-2)) = 4/4 = 1
- y +2 = 1(x +2)
Step-by-step explanation:
The point-slope form of the equation for a line with slope m through point (x1, y1) is ...
y -y1 = m(x -x1)
To find the slope of the line, find the ratio of the difference in y-values of the points to the difference in corresponding x-values. Here, the slope is ...
m = (2 -(-2))/(2 -(-2)) = 4/4 = 1 . . . work to compute slope
The problem statement tells you x1 = -2, y1 = -2. Putting the numbers in to the point-slope form gives ...
y -(-2) = 1(x -(-2))
y + 2 = x + 2 . . . equation form with m, (x1, y1) filled in

The answer at the top leaves the slope shown as 1. We don't know how much simplification you are expected to do. Obviously, this <em>could</em> be simplified to y=x, but then the use of (-2, -2) for the point would not be obvious.
We can’t see the tables unless you upload a picture :)
