To prepare for wrestling season, Tommy wants to eat 24 grams of protein at breakfast. He knows that there are 3 grams of protein

in a slice of bacon and 6 grams of protein in an egg. Let x represent the number of slices of bacon he will eat and let y represent the number of eggs he will eat.
Write an equation that relates the number of slices of bacon to the number of eggs he will eat, assuming he eats exactly 24 grams of protein. **Rewrite your equation in slope-intercept form.

Answer:

1) The equation that represents the number of slices of bacon to the number he will eat, assuming he eats 24 grams is;

3·x + 6·y = 24

2) The equation in slope and intercept form is;

y = 4 - 0.5·x

Step-by-step explanation:

1) The given parameters are;

The amount of protein Tommy wants to eat for breakfast = 24 grams

The quantity of protein in a slice of bacon = 3 grams

The quantity of protein in an egg = 6 grams

Let x represent the number of slices of bacon he will eat and let y represent the number of eggs he will eat

The equation that represents the number of slices of bacon to the number he will eat, assuming he eats 24 grams is given as follows;

3·x + 6·y = 24

2) The equation in slope and intercept form is given by making y the subject of the above equation as follows;

3·x + 6·y = 24

6·y = 24 - 3·x

y = 24/6 -1/2·x

y = 4 - 0.5·x, which is in the slope and intercept form y = m·x + c

Where;

m = The slope = -0.5

c = The y-intercept = 4

Describe how to determine which side of the boundary line should be shaded
iogann1982 [59]
Hello Bri,

If you are talking about a boundary line on a coordinate plane, the best way to determine which side to shade is to start by selecting a coordinate point (x, y) that is not on the line.

Then, substitute those values into your inequality. Simplify the inequality. If the resulting statement is true, then shade the side with your point. If the resulting statement is false, then shade the other side.

Testing a point like this shows the side of the inequality that is the solution and needs to be shaded.

Good luck!

Graph the line with slope – 2 passing through the point (-5,5).
34kurt

Answer:

y = -2x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

y = -2x + b

- To find the y-intercept, plug the values of the variables.

5 = -2(-5) + b

5 = 10 + b

- Subtract 10 from both sides.

-5 = b
