378 divided by 3 = 126
So your answer is 126
The slope is m = 0 and the line goes through the point (x,y) = (2,3). So x = 2 pairs up with y = 3.
Plug m = 0, x = 2, y = 3 into the equation below. Then solve for b
y = mx+b
3 = 0*2+b
3 = 0+b
3 = b
b = 3
So if m = 0 and b = 3, then
y = mx+b
y = 0*x+3
y = 0+3
y = 3
is the equation of this line. This line is completely horizontal going through points like (0,3), (1,3), (2,3), etc. Every point on this line has a y coordinate of 3. The x coordinate can be any number you want.
Answer: Choice C) y = 3
Let x = cost of one skirt
Let y = cost of one coat.
We need to construct a system of equations to help us solve this problem.
Lily: $452.62 = 6x + 5y
Sis: $289.36 = 3x + 5y.
Let's solve this by elimination. Multiply the second equation by -1
Lily: $452.62 = 6x + 5y
Sis: -$289.36 = -3x + -5y. Add the equations together.
$163.26 = 3x. Divide each side by 3.
$54.42 = x. Plug this into one of our original equations.
$452.62 = 6(54.42) + 5y. Multiply 6 by 54.42
$452.62 = 326.52 + 5y. Subtract 326.52 from each side.
$126.1 = 5y. Divide each side by 5
$25.22 = y.
One coat costs $25.22
