In y = mx + b form, the slope can be found in the m position and the y intercept can be found in the b position.
y = mx + b
y = 2x + 15
slope(m) = 2 and y int (b) = 15
The initial amount is the y intercept, which is 15. The rate of change (the slope) is 2
example :
baskets picked in 1 hr :
y = 2(1) + 15
y = 2 + 15
y = 17
baskets picked in 2 hrs :
y = 2(2) + 15
y = 4 + 15
y = 19
so the slope ( rate of change) is basically saying for every hr of picking, you pick 2 baskets...so your picking 2 baskets per hr.
The y intercept (15) is telling us that they already had 15 baskets to start with.
All you do is use the a+b=c formula lets plug it in
15+b=35
15+20=35
35=35
The answer is 20
The slope of the parallel line is 3/4
<h3>How to determine the slope?</h3>
The equation is given as:
3x - 4y = 8
Rewrite as:
4y = 3x - 8
Divide through by 4
y = 3x/4 - 2
A linear equation is represented as:
y = mx + b
Where m represents the slope
By comparison:
m = 3/4
Parallel lines have equal slope
Hence, the slope of the parallel line is 3/4

Answer:
C. 7 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the time for the trip out be represented by t. Then the time for the return trip is t-1. The distance was the same for both trips, so we have ...
distance = speed × time
300t = 350(t -1)
300t = 350t -350 . . . . eliminate parentheses
350 = 50t . . . . . . . . . . add 350-300t
7 = t . . . . . . divide by 50
The trip out took 7 hours.
Answer:
the answer is 15/14 when you add them
