Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Total flavors Sammy initially had = x
Number of flavors Sammy throw away = y
After throwing away y flavors, the number of flavors Sammy will be left with = x - y
He needs to make 10-flavor bags from these (x - y) flavors. In order words he needs to chose 10 flavors for each bag from(x - y) flavors. The order of selection is not important here, so this is a problem of combinations. Also since we have to make selections or small groups, this also indicates that we have to use combinations.
So we need to make combinations of 10 flavors from a total of (x - y) flavors. This can be represented as
The formula for combinations is:
Using the values in this formula, we get:
The answer has to be in y-intercept form. Which is y=mx+b and b can also be neg. y=mx-b. The m is your slope and b is your y-intercept. So A’s slope counting from 3 on the y axis to 1 on the x-axis which is down 2 over 1 so it will be -2/1. And your y intercept is 3. The equation is y=-2x+3. For B its the same thing but no graph. Remember that slope is RISE over RUN. So since the number is on the bottom of the line the rise is 4 and the run is 1. So in this case 10 is your y-intercept. Which means you equation is y=4x+10.
