You just need two points to graph a line.
When x = 1
y - 4 = -1/4(1 - 5)
y - 4 = -1/4(-4)
y - 4 = 4/4
y - 4 = 1
y = 5
So, we have our first point, (1,5)
When x = 2
y - 4 = -1/4(2 - 5)
y - 4 = -1/4(-3)
y - 4 = 3/4
y = 4 3/4
Now we have the point (2, 4 3/4)
Now just run a line through the two points and you're done!
The area is 480 square inches
1. D none of the above.
2. A 5.43, 5.62, 5.74
3. A 75%
4. A 87.5%
5. A 0.7
6. B between 0.5 and 1.0
Set it up with variables; tomatoes=t, sunflowers=s, corn=c
320=t+s+c
This year;
t=2s
c=t+40
so, replace 2s for t; c=2s+40
now we can put those factors in for 320=t+c+s
320= 2s+2s+40+s
(SIMPLIFY)---> 320=5s+40----> 5s+280----> s=56
now incorporate the s value into the other equations.
c=2s+40----> c=56(2)=40 ----> c=152
t=2s -----> t=2(56) ----> t=112
TOMATOES= 112 acres
CORN= 152 acres
SUNFLOWERS= 56 acres
To check your work: 320=t+s+c ----> 320=112+156+56
