Answer:
Technically neither, but Mia is correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b
Since our slope <em>m</em> is equal to 6, it is a positive number. That means that the slope/line will be positive, so the line should be going up, not down. That means the blue line would be correct. Therefore, Mia is correct.
Technicality:
Since the blue line is dotted, the equation should be a <em>inequality </em>and not a linear equation. No solutions on the line would technically work. If the equation was y < 6x + 4 or something with an inequality sign, then it would be correct.
2.5% * y = 2.21
.025 * y = 2.21
y = 2.21/.025
y = 88.4
2.5% of 88.4 is 2.21
If you would like to know which of the following steps should be performed to eliminate variable d first, you can find this using the following steps:
equation a: 2c = d - 8 /*(-3)
equation b: c = 3d + 8
__________________
-6c = -3d + 24
c = 3d + 8
__________________
-6c + c = -3d + 24 + 3d + 8
-5c = 32
5c = -32
c = -32/5
<span>The correct result would </span>be: <span>multiply equation a by −3.</span>
