Answer:
286 students attended
148 non students attended
Step-by-step explanation:
Given




Solving (a): Number of students
Represent students with S and non students with N
So:
--- (1)
--- (2)
Make N the subject of formula in (1)

Substitute 434 - S for N in (2)

Divide through by -2

<em>Hence; 286 students attended</em>
Solving (b):
Recall that



<em>148 non students attended</em>
For this case we have that the generic equation of the line is given by:

Where,
m: slope of the line
b: intersection with the y axis.
Since the line is parallel to PQ, then the slopes are equal.
We have then:

On the other hand we have:

Substituting values we have:
Answer:
The equation of the line that is parallel to line PQ and that has the and intercept b = -3 is:
