Step-by-step explanation:

gradient \:  =  \:  \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}

y2 = y , x2 = 5

y1 = 2 , x1 = 3

- 2 \:  =  \:  \frac{y - 2}{5 - 3}

-4 = y-2 ==> y = -2

Answer:

y=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

For a line containing the points (X1,Y1) and (X2,Y2), the gradient/slope is equal to (Y2-Y1)/(X2-X1).

Therefore for a line with gradient -2 and points (3,2) and (5,y), we can say:

-2=(y-2)/(5-3)

-2(2)=y-2

y=-4+2

y=-2

Natali [406]

Answers:

  • Total equation:  x+y = 80
  • Legs equation:  2x+4y = 248
  • How many ducks? 36
  • How many cows? 44

====================================================

Further explanation:

  • x = number of ducks
  • y = number of cows

x+y = 80 is the total equation (ie the head count equation) since we assume each animal has 1 head, and there are 80 heads total.

That equation can be solved to y = 80-x after subtracting x from both sides.

The legs equation is 2x+4y = 248 because...

  • 2x = number of legs from all the ducks only
  • 4y = number of legs from all the cows only
  • 2x+4y = total number of legs from both types of animals combined

We're told there are 248 legs overall, so that's how we ended up with 2x+4y = 248

------------

Let's plug y = 80-x into the second equation and solve for x.

2x+4y = 248

2x+4( y ) = 248

2x+4( 80-x ) = 248

2x+320-4x = 248

-2x+320 = 248

-2x = 248-320

-2x = -72

x = -72/(-2)

x = 36

There are 36 ducks

Now use this x value to find y

y = 80-x

y = 80-36

y = 44

There are 44 cows.

------------

Check:

36 ducks + 44 cows = 80 animals total

36*2 + 44*4 = 72 + 176 = 248 legs total

The answers are confirmed.
