Answer:
Part A: That 6 pounds of rice costs $18
Part B: (1,3) represents the unit price
Part C: 4 pounds of rice, because $12/3 equals 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Part A: The first point, 6, is on the amount of rice axis and the second point, 18, is on the total cost axis.
Part B: The unit price means the price for just 1 of something, so if you go to 1 pound of rice on the graph, you see it's at 3 on the total cost axis. Which means that 1 pound of rice costs $3.
Part C: From Part B you know that 1 pound of rice equals $3. So if you spend $12, then you can divide that by $3 to see how many pounds of rice you bought. 12/3 equals 4, so you bought 4 pounds of rice. Or you can count by 3's until you get to 12: 3, 6, 9, 12. That's 4 times so that means you bought 4 pounds of rice.
Answer:
x = -45, y = -40
Step-by-step explanation:
Based on the first clue, we find out that
x + 5 = y
5x = 6y + 15
We can re-write the first equation to x = y - 5.
Therefore, the second equation can also be written as 5(y - 5) = 6y + 15
This can be simplified to 5y - 25 = 6y + 15
We can subtract 6y from each side, and add 25 to each side;
5y - 6y = 15 + 25
Therefore, -y = 40
Therefore y = -40.
Now let's plug this back into the original equation, to get : x + 5 = -40
x=-45
3,500,000 - 2,800,000 = 700,000
So the magazine needs 700,000 readers to meet their goal.
Hope that helps you. :-)
Point slope form says the line through (a,b) with slope m is
y - b = m(x - a)
Here that's
y - 32 = -6(x - -6)
y -32 = -6(x + 6) = -6x - 36
y = -6x - 4
Check:
-6(-6) - 4 = 36 - 4 = 32, good
Answer: y = -6x - 4
