Slope is the change in y over the change in x:
Slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2-x1)
Replace the letters in the equation with the given information:
1/2 = (1 - -1) / (15 -r)
Cross multiply:
1 * (15-r) = 2 * (1- -1)
Simplify:
15 -r = 4
Subtract 15 from each side:
-r = -11
Because r is negative, you need to multiply both sides by -1 to make r positive:
r = 11
Answer: 19 birds were at the shelter on Wednesday.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of birds that were at the shelter on Wednesday.
Let y represent the number of birds that were at the shelter on Wednesday.
Nicole found a record showing that there were a total of 40 birds and cats on Wednesday. This means that
x + y = 40
The animal shelter spends $5.50 per day to care for each bird and $8.50 per day to care for each cat. Nicole noticed that the shelter spent $283.00 caring for birds and cats on Wednesday. This means that
5.5x + 8.5y = 283 - - - - - - - - - - - - - -1
Substituting x = 40 - y into equation 1, it becomes
5.5(40 - y) + 8.5y = 283
220 - 5.5y + 8.5y = 283
- 5.5y + 8.5y = 283 - 220
3y = 63
y = 63/3 = 21
x = 40 - y = 40 - 21
x = 19
Answer:
12 over 4
Step-by-step explanation:
You divide 12 by 3 which equals 4 so if you were making 3 equal teams 12 over 4 would equal 3
