Any line parallel to the given line will have the same slope. In an equation presented in the y-intercept form, the slope is always the coefficient of "x". In this case, the slope is -5/4 (meaning the next point is down 5, and 4 to the right).

Our equation so far looks like this: y = -5/4x + b

"b" represents the y-intercept. To solve for be, we will need to substitute values into x and y. The next piece of information it gives us is one of the points, or solutions, of the line. This means that since this point is on the line, we can use its x and y values to substitute.

x = -4

y= 1

y = -5/4x + b

1 = -5/4(-4) + b

1 = 5 + b

-4 = b

Final Answer: y = -(5/4)x -4

A private ship carries two types of cargo: large crates and extra-large crates. Each type of crate weighs a specific amount.

Arisa [49]

Answer:

G. 32

Step-by-step explanation:

32 x 335 = 10720

16,100 - 10720 = 5380/190 = 28.3157894737

275 x 32 = 8800

18,800 - 8800 = 10,000/400 = 25 (This is the closer).

30 x 335 = 10,050

16,100 - 10,050 = 6050/190 = 31.8421052632

30 x 275 = 8250

18,800 - 8250 = 10550/400 = 26.375 (Same reason why it does't work)

25 x 335 = 8375

16,100 - 8375 = 7725/190 = 40.6578947368

25 x 275 = 6875

18,800 - 6875 = 11925/400 = 29.8125

24 x 335 = 8040

16,100 - 8040 = 8060/190 = 42.4210526316

24 x 275 = 6600

18,800 - 6600 = 12200/400 = 30.5
