Answer:

17 boys and 11 girls

Step-by-step explanation:

Create a system of equations where b is the number of boys and g is the number of girls:

b + g = 28

b = g + 6

Solve by substitution, by substituting the second equation into the first one:

b + g = 28

(g + 6) + g = 28

2g + 6 = 28

2g = 22

g = 11

So, there are 11 girls.

Since there are 6 more boys than girls, there are 17 boys.

So, there are 17 boys and 11 girls in the class.

You actually have most of the answers correct.
E is the origin
D is the x axis
A is the y axis
B is at coordinates (1, 3)
C is at coordinates (3, 1)
*remember you go across on the graph x axis and then up y axis.

Write the standard form of the equation of a line if the point on the line nearest to the origin is at (6, 8).

Alchen [17]

Answer:

$\large\boxed{y=\dfrac{4}{3}x}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The line passes through the origin has an equation y = mx

m - slope

The formula of a slope of a line passes through the origin

and a point (x, y):

$m=\dfrac{y}{x}$

We have the point (6, 8). Substitute:

$m=\dfrac{8}{6}=\dfrac{8:2}{6:2}=\dfrac{4}{3}$

Finally:

$y=\dfrac{4}{3}x$
