Answer:
1. y = - 4 x + 5
2. x = -8
Step-by-step explanation:
1. (-1,9) (1,1)
y = mx + b
m = (y-y') / (x-x') = (1-9) / (1-(-1)) = -8 / 2 = - 4
b = y - mx = 9 - (-4) x (-1) = 5
equation: y = - 4 x + 5
check: (1,1) y=1 = (-4) x 1 + 5 = 1
2. Vertical line through (-8,6) is a line perpendicular to x axis
x = -8
Initially, Alice had 28 sweets and Olivia 12 sweets.
Step-by-step explanation:
First assume that Aunty Joan has x number sweets.
Alice and Olivia shared the x sweets in a ration of 7:3, this means
Alice had 7/10 x sweets and Olivia had 3/10 sweets.
Alice gives 3 sweets to Olivia, Alice will remain with ;
Then the new ratio changes to 5:3 which means Alice will have 5/8 x number of sweets.
Equate the number of sweets for Alice in the two cases, which is
So there were 40 sweets at first
Using the ratio of 7:3 then
Alice had 7/10 *40 = 28 sweets
Olivia had 3/10*40= 12 sweets
Alice gave Olivia 3 sweets, so she will remain with 28-3 =25 sweets. Olivia will now have 15 sweets.The new ratio will be 25:15 simplified as 5:3.
