Answer:

The value of b is 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the y-intercept.

y = mx + b

-8 = -2(5) + b

-8 = -10 + b

2 = b

So now our equation is y = -2x + 2. Now plug in the values.

y = -2(-1) + 2

y = 4

Bryce spent $5.26 on some apples prices at $0.64 each and some pears priced at $0.45 each. at another store he could have bought
Reil [10]
Let the number of apples be x and that of pears be y, then:
0.64x + 0.45y = 5.26 . . . (1)
0.32x + 0.39y = 3.62 . . . (2)

(2) x 2 => 0.64x + 0.78y = 7.24 . . . (3)
(1) - (3) => -0.33y = -1.98
y = -1.98 / -0.33 = 6

From (2), 0.32x + 0.39(6) = 3.62
0.32x = 3.62 - 2.34 = 1.28
x = 1.28 / 0.32 = 4

Therefore, he bought 4 apples and 6 pears.
