parallel lines, have the same exact slope, hmmm what is the slope of y = -2/3 x + 1/3 anyway? well, low and behold, the equation is already in slope-intercept form, therefore
has a slope of -2/3.
so we're really looking for a line whose slope is -2/3 and runs through 9,4.
Find the slope first
slope=(2-1)/(-1+3)=1/4=.25
now use the slope and either point to write in point slope form
y-1=.25(x-2)
y-1=¼x-½
to rationalize all the denominators multiply by the last common multiple, here we get 4
4y-4=x-2
then put in the correct order
x-4y=-2
Answer: 22
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question the, we are informed that members of a lacrosse team raised $1352.50 to go to a tournament and that they rented a bus for $802.50 and budgeted $25 per player for meals.
The equation which can be used to determine p, the number of players the team can bring to the tournament would be calculated as:
802.50 + 25p = 1352.50
25p = 1352.50 - 802.50
25p = 550
p = 550/25
p = 22
They can bring 22 players to the tournament
