The slope is -1/4
hope this helped
You are buying 2 items so let's use two different variables to represent each:
p = number of tubes of paint
b = number of disposable brushes
cost = price per item × number of items
Equations from information given:
4p + 0.50b = 20 ← from the first 2 sentences
2p = b ← if there are twice as many brushes as paint tubes you need 2 times paint tubes to equal number of brushes
Solve the problem by using substitution... 1b equals 2p so replace b with that:
4p + 0.50(2p) = 20
4p + 1p = 20 ← 0.50 is half so half of 2p is 1p
5p = 20 ← combine like terms
p = 4 ← divide both sides of the equation by 5
Recall the equation 2p = b replace p with 4
2(4) = b
8 = b
ANSWER:
You purchased 4 tubes of paint and 8 disposable brushes.
Answer:
y = 1/2x+4
Step-by-step explanation:
First we find the slope
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
= (3-6)/(-2-4)
= -3/-6
=1/2
The equation of a line in slope intercept form is
y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept
y =1/2x+b
Substitute one of the point into the equation
6 = 1/2(4) +b
6 = 2+b
b=4
y = 1/2x+4
