The complete question in the attached figure
we have that
x----------------> r<span>epresents the number of spoonfuls of brand A
</span>y----------------> represents the number of spoonfuls of brand B
<span>Brand A---------------- > Calcium. Iron Vitamins ------ > 5 4 7 </span><span>milligrams
</span>Brand B---------------- > Calcium. Iron Vitamins ------ > 4 6 4 milligrams
<span>Steve needs to take at least
</span>Calcium milligrams >=24
Iron milligrams >=15
Vitamins milligrams >=16
I proceed to calculate the system inequalities
for Calcium
5x+4y>=24
for iron
4x+6y>=15
for Vitamins
7x+4y>=16
using a graph tool to solve the system of inequalities
see the attached figure
the answer is the point (1,5) and the point (4,1) are solution
It is one/1 hope that helps.
612.4285714285714 is the answer

Answer: -4</h3>
==========================================================
Explanation:
We can pick any two rows from the table to get the (x,y) points needed to find the slope.
Let's say we pick the second and third rows
Subtract the y values: 14-6 = 8
Subtract the x values in the same order: 1-3 = -2
Divide the differences: 8/(-2) = -4
The slope is -4
--------------------------------------------------
You can use the slope formula
Let's say the points are (x1,y1) = (1,14) and (3,6)
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m = (6-14)/(3-1)
m = -8/2
m = -4
It's the same basic idea as the previous section. You subtract the y values together (y2-y1) and the x values together (x2-x1) and divide the differences to get m. The order of subtraction doesn't matter as long as you stay consistent. If you do something like y2-y1 and x1-x2, then you'll get the wrong slope value.
