Answer: y = - 0.4 x - 4.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Equation y=mx+b
m is the slope
x is *ANY* x coordinate
y is *ANY* y coordinate
b is y intercept or WHERE the point is on the Y AXIS
Lets look at the given:
Slope (m) is -2/5
Passes through point 15, -9/2
As you can see, the point goes through the Y axis at (-9/2)
Our equation is y = - 0.4 x - 4.5
Answer:
Therefore (x,y)=(3,7)
Step-by-step explanation:
put the second equation into the first
x+4=3x-2
x-3x=-2-4
-2x=-6
x=3
plug x=3 into the second equation
y=3+4=7
Answer:
300a + 450b ≤ 6000
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Cost of electric mower = $300
Cost of gas mower = $450
Total number of mower = 25
Cost of total mower is at least = $6,000
Find:
Number of each mower equation
Computation:
Number of electric mower = a
Number of gas mower = b
So,
Equations
a + b ≤ 25 ........ Equation 1
300a + 450b ≤ 6000 ....... Equation 1
Answer:
- 1 bus, 72 vans
- $6960 is the minimum cost
Step-by-step explanation:
A bus costs over $19 per student; a van costs less than $12 per student. The required number of students could be transported by 81 vans, but that requires 81 chaperones.
Since there are only 80, and a bus requires fewer chaperones per student, we can reduce the number of required chaperones to an acceptable level by employing one bus. 1 bus replaces 9 vans, and requires 1 less chaperone than 9 vans.
The minimum cost is 1 bus and 72 vans. That cost is $1200 +72×$80 = $6960.
