Make the equation into slope intercept form: y = mx + b 2x + y = 10 Subtract 2x y = -2x + 10 Parallel means same slope Y = -2x + b Plug in the point (1,5) 5 = -2(1) + b, b = 7 Solution: y = -2x + 7
Take 8 and divide it by 3 1/3. to make it easer 1/3 could be .3 as a decimal. so 8 divided by 3.3. 8/3.3= 2.42 so it would be 2.42 tons of sugar per container.
