Answer:

y = (-1/5)x + 23/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Two points;

(-2,5) and (3,4)

Find:

Equation of slope

Computation:

y = mx + b

5 = m(-2) + b

5 = -2m + b .......... Eq1

4 = m(3) + b

4 = 3m + b .......... Eq2

Eq2 - Eq1

-1 = 5m

m = -1/5

5 = -2m + b

5 = -2(-1/5) + b

5 = 2/5 + b

b = 23/5

y = mx + b

y = (-1/5)x + 23/5

Casey can buy 3 sandwiches and 5 cups of coffee for $26. Eric can buy 4
ioda

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's identify what we are looking for in terms of variables.  Sandwiches are s and coffee is c.  Casey buys 3 sandwiches, which is represented then by 3s, and 5 cups of coffee, which is represented by 5c.   Those all put together on one bill comes to 26.  So Casey's equation for his purchases is 3s + 5c = 26.  Eric buys 4 sandwiches, 4s, and 2 cups of coffee, 2c, and his total purchase was 23.  Eric's equation for his purchases then is 4s + 2c = 23.  In order to solve for c, the cost of a cup of coffee, we need to multiply both of those bolded equations by some factor to eliminate the s's.  The coefficients on the s terms are 4 and 3.  4 and 3 both go into 12 evenly, so we will multiply the first bolded equation by 4 and the second one by -3 so the s terms cancel out.  4[3s + 5c = 26] means that 12s + 20c = 104.  Multiplying the second  bolded equation   by -3:  -3[4s + 2c = 23] means that -12s - 6c = -69.  The s terms cancel because 12s - 12s = 0s.  We are left with a system of equations that just contain one unknown now, which is c, what we are looking to solve for.  20c = 104 and -6c = -69.  Adding those together by the method of elimination (which is what we've been doing all this time), 14c = 35.  That means that c = 2.5 and a cup of coffee is $2.50.  There you go!

A line is parallel to y= 4x-2 and intersects the point (5,-11). what is the equation of this parallel line?
mina [271]

The equation of line parallel to given line is: y=4x-31

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation of line is:

The equation of line is in slope-intercept form so the co-efficient of x is the slope of the line.

Let m1 be the slope of the given line

then

m1 = 4

Let m2 be the line that is parallel to given line

As we know that the slopes of parallel lines is equal so

m1=m2 = 4

The slope-intercept form of equation of line is:

Putting the value of slope

to find the value of b, putting (5,-11) in the equation

Putting the value of b

Hence,

The equation of line parallel to given line is: y=4x-31

En salón de clases hay 30 alumnos; el 40% son hombres y el 60% son mujeres ¿Cuántos hombres y mujeres hay en el salón de clases?
vodomira [7]

There are 30 students in the classroom; 40% are men and 60% are women. How many men and women are in the classroom?

40/100 = 2/5   60/100 = 3/5   30 ÷ 5 = 6   3 × 6 = 18 so 18 are women 2 × 6 = 12

so there are 12 men.
