Answer:
y=-4x+288
Step-by-step explanation:
every month he loses 4 lbs starting from his weight is at now
x-3y= 1
The equation needs to be rewritten in proper Slope intercept form ( y = mx+b) where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
x-3y = 1
Subtract x from each side:
-3y = 1-x
Divide both sides by -3:
y = 1/-3 - x/-3
Simplify:
y = 1/3x - 1/3
The slope is 1/3
They always try to trick you with this. Remember anything 5 or above would round up, anything 4 and under would round down. So look for the tenth place. that's the 9. The number to the right is 8 which is greater than 5. That means round up. You can't round it to 0.1 because that takes it back down. So you just move it over. The answer is 1.0.
