Answer:
y = -2x + 7 and y = x - 2
Step-by-step explanation:
2x + y = 7
y = -2x +7
x - y = 2
-y = -x +2
y = x - 2
Answer:
The answer to your question is a) y - 2 = -5(x - 3)
b) y = -5x + 17
Step-by-step explanation:
Data
A (1, 12)
B (3, 2)
Process
1.- Find the slope
Formula

Substitution

2.- Find the equation in point slope form
Equation
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
Substitution and equation
y - 2 = -5(x - 3)
3.- Find the slope-intercept form
Expand the point slope form
y - 2 = -5x + 15
Simplify
y = -5x + 15 + 2
Equation
y = -5x + 17
Well first lets do the distributive property so the left side is already done 28, now the right side -4 (2x+7) when you do that you get -8x-28. So now we have 28=-8x-28. So now I would move the -28 to the left side and when you move stuff to the other side you change the sign so the sign will be positive 28+28 which is 56. Now you have 56=-8x. Now divide both side by -8 to have -7=x
Your Answer: x = -7
This can be solved by using a simple algebraic equation.
For example, in the first column, Caleb worked 5 hours. We do not know how much he makes per hour, so let that be x. He earned a total of $36.25, so the equation can be written as 5x=36.25.
Divide by 5 on both sides, and you get x= 7.25
He earns $7.25 per hour of work.
Repeat this for all the workers:
Jeremy: 7.5x=65.25
x= $8.70
Maria: 4.25x=34.00
x= $8
Rosa: 8x=54.00
x= $6.75
Jeremy has the greatest hourly rate
