So let's start by guesstimating the slopes:
the green line has a slope close to -x, but more negative than that, possibly -2; the pink line has a slope close to +x, but higher towards +2.
Next let's look at the solution: the two lines intersect at the point (1, -1).
**you could just simple plug that x (1) into all the equations, but let's rule out answers anyway. ;)
A) is incorrect because the slopes of -1 and +1 are off from out predicted -2 and +2
B) is incorrect because of a similar reason, the slopes of +3 and +1 don't make any sense
C) Ooh, we do have a +2 and -2 for the slopes, and... violà! plug in 1 for the x's and we get -1 for the y in both equations
D) slopes are closer than in A and B, but plugging in 1 doesn't get us -1
So the correct answer is:
C) y = 2x - 3 and y = −2x + 1
There would be 9 birds left. 10-1=9
Answer:
no solution
Step-by-step explanation:
p-4=-9+p
p=-5+p
0=-5
(3,4) (9,7)
to find the slope
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
= (7-4)/(9-3)
3/6
1/2
The slope is 1/2
point slope form
y-y1 = m(x-x1)
y-4 = 1/2(x-3)
distribute
y-4 = 1/2x -3/2
add 4 to each side
y = 1/2 x -3/2 + 4
y = 1/2 x -3/2 + 8/2
y = 1/2 x + 5/2
this is in slope intercept form
