<u>Answer</u>:
The number of hens is 100 and the number of roosters is 200.
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Let the number of hens be x and the number of roosters be y
then the total number of hens and roosters, is 300
so,
----------------------------(1)
Also the hen eats 80 pounds of food per year and roosters eats 60 pounds of food per year,
----------------(2)
To solve the equations , multilpy eq(1) by 80
------------------(3)
Subracting (2) from (3)
substituting y in eq(1) we get
Answer:
-1/2
It is a negative slope going down 1 over 2
Answer:
c = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the following data;
Slope, m = -2
Points (x, y) = (5, -2)
To find the intercept, c;
Equation of a straight line is given by the formula: y = mx + c
Where;
m is the slope.
x and y are the points
c is the intercept.
Substituting the values in order to find the intercept, we have;
-2 = -2(5) + c
-2 = -10 + c
c = 10 - 2
c = 8
Therefore, the y-intercept is 8.
The correct answer would be 0.1
