Answer:
2.
Step-by-step explanation:
The gradient or slope of a straight line which is found between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is given by the formula:
m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
Where y2 = 7
y1 = 3
x2 = 4
x1 = 2
=> m = (7 - 3) / (4 - 2)
m = 4 / 2 = 2
The gradient is 2.

: hope this helps :)

Jeffrey went to the movies with his friends. The tickets cost $8.50 each for students and they spent $15.00 altogether at the co
LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

4 people

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's first write an equation.

We want to find the number of tickets t

The total was $49 so our equation will equal $49 and they spent $15 in snacks so on the other side of the eqaution we have to add $15, on the same side as the snacks we need to add in the cost of tickets, which is $8.50 multiplies by t, or the total number of tickets.

$49 = $8.50t + $15

Solve for t, first subtract $15 from both sides.

$49 - $15 = $8.50t

$34 = $8.50t   Divide both sides by $8.50

$34/$8.50 =  $8.50t/$8.50  

$34/$8.50 = t

4 = t

4 tickets meaning 4 people went.

A system of two linear equations with two variables is shown below.
Orlov [11]
{ 3-y=2x
{ x+1/2y=3/2

{ -y=2x-3
{ 1/2y=3/2-x

{ y=-2x+3
{ y=3-2x

-2x+3=3-2x

(x,y) = (x,-2x+3)
