Answer:
<u>m</u><u> </u><u>is</u><u> </u><u>-</u><u>2</u><u> </u><u>and</u><u> </u><u>c</u><u> </u><u>is</u><u> </u><u>-</u><u>1</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
• Let's first phrase out the general equation of a line
- m is the slope
- c is the y-intercept
[ remember that a general line equation must be in slope - intercept form as shown above ]
• from our question, we are given the equation;
• let's make y the subject in order to make the equation in slope - intercept format.
→ <em>r</em><em>e</em><em>m</em><em>e</em><em>m</em><em>b</em><em>e</em><em>r</em><em> </em><em>t</em><em>o</em><em> </em><em>a</em><em>p</em><em>p</em><em>l</em><em>y</em><em> </em><em>"</em><em>s</em><em>u</em><em>b</em><em>j</em><em>e</em><em>c</em><em>t</em><em> </em><em>m</em><em>a</em><em>k</em><em>i</em><em>n</em><em>g</em><em> </em><em>k</em><em>n</em><em>o</em><em>w</em><em>l</em><em>e</em><em>d</em><em>g</em><em>e</em><em>"</em>
• The above boxed equation is now a general equation. Let's extract out slope, m and y-intercept, c
Let
x ------> number of switch type A
y -----> number of switch type B
so
Remember that
1 hour=60 min
32 hours=32*60=1,920 minutes
4x+5y=1,920 -------> equation 1
3x+5y=1,740 ------> equation 2
Solve the system of equations
Solve by graphing
using a graphing tool
see the attached figure
Solution is
x=180
y=240
therefore
<h2>the number of switch type A was 180</h2><h2>the number of switch type B was 240</h2>
