Answer:
The slope would be 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Your slope-intercept form is always y=mx + b
The <em>b </em>is always your <em>constant</em>
The <em>mx </em>is your <em>slope</em>
The<em> y </em>is your<em> output</em>
Mult. the 2nd eqn by 6 and then add this "new" equation to the 1st given eqn:
-6x + y = -2
6x -18y = 54
--------------------
-17y = 52, or y = -52/17. Subst. this value of y into either equation to find the value of x.
Your answer is .6 repeating or 2/3 per person.
