We know the equation of a line is y=mx+b. We know the slope (m) is -2 and all we need is the intercept (b).
Since we know one point, we can plug in 6 for x and 3 for y (along with -2 for m) in our equation and then solve for b.
3= -2*6 + b
3= -12 + b
15 = b
Since we now know the intercept we can now write our equation:
y= -2x + 15
Answer:
x + y = 162 and x = 2y - 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the total wins be x
Let the total loss be y
If a baseball team's total wins and losses for one season is 162, this can be expressed as;
x + y = 162 ....... 1
If the number of wins is 6 less than 2 times the number of losses, this is expressed as;
2 times the number of losses = 2y
6 less than 2 times the number of losses = 2y - 6
Now, If the number of wins is 6 less than 2 times the number of losses this is expressed as;
x = 2y - 6 .... 2
Hence the required system of equation are;
x + y = 162 and x = 2y - 6
