X= number of ounces in the full jar
3 = 1/6 x
multiply both sides by 6:
18=x
18 oz.
Let x= original savings
(x-1,600) - 2/5 (x-1,600) = 1/3x
(x-1,600) - 2/5 + 640 = 1/3x
(3/5)x - 960 = 1/3x
(3/5)x - (1/3)x = 960
(4/15)x = 960
(15/4)(4/15)x = (15/4) 960
x = 15* 240 (960/4 = 240)
x = $3,600 is his original savings
Check:
$3,600 - 1,600 = 2,000
(2/5)($2,000) = $800
2,000 - 800 = 1,200 left over
Answer:
Using y = mx + c
slope = -17+5/3-1 = -12/2 = -6
Using point (1 , - 5)
y + 5 = -6(x - 1)
y + 5 = - 6x + 6
y = - 6x + 6 - 5
y = - 6x + 1
Hope this helps.
