first invert fraction of the slope from 4/1 to 1/4 and switch sign. then figure out the y-intercept
the algebraic approach would work like this:
-4x + 10 = 1/4x + b
plug in what you got, here: the intersection information
-4*(4) + 10 = 1/4*(4) + b
-16 + 10 = 1 + b
-6 = 1 + b
-7 = b
Answer:
Number of restaurant-purchased meals eaten in a restaurant = 70
Number of restaurant-purchased meals eaten in a car = 22
Number of restaurant-purchased meals eaten in a home = 60
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of people that will eat in a restaurant be R.
Let the number of people that will eat in a car be C.
Let the number of people that will eat in a home be H.
From the information given in the problem we have,
R+C+H = 152 ____equation (1)
C+H-R = 12 ____equation (2)
R = H+10 ____equation (3)
1) Plugging in R=H+10 from equation 3 into the equation 2, we get
C+H-R=12
=> C+H-(H+10)=12
=> C+H-H-10=12
2) Cancelling out +H and -H, we get
C-10=12
3) Add 10 to both sides
C-10+10=12+10
4) Cancelling out -10 and +10, we get
C=22
5) Plugin C=22 in equation 1, we have
R+C+H = 152
=> R+22+H=152
Subtract 22 from both sides,
R+22+H-22=152-22
Cancelling out +22 and -22 from the left side, we get
R+H=130 ____let it be equation (4)
6) Plugin C=22 in equation 2, we have
C+H-R = 12
22+H-R = 12
Subtracting 22 from both the sides, we get
22+H-R-22 = 12-22
Cancelling out +22 and -22 from the left side,
H-R = -10 ____let it be equation (5)
7) Adding equation 4 and equation 5, we get
(R+H)+(H-R) = 130 + (-10)
=> R+H+H-R = 130-10
8) Cancelling out R and -R from the left side, we get
2H = 120
9) Dividing both sides by 2, we get
10) Cancelling out the 2's from the left side, we have
H=60
11) Plugging in C=22 and H=60 in the equation 1, we have
R+C+H = 152
=> R+22+60=152
=> R + 82 = 152
12) Subtracting 82 from both the sides, we get
R + 82 -82 = 152 -82
13) Cancelling out +82 and -82 from the left side, we get
R = 70
<em>So, C=22, H=60, R=70</em>

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratios all have ...
first number : second number = 1 : 4
Using first numbers of 1, 2, 3, the second numbers can be found by multiplying these by 4. (1, 4), (2, 8), (3, 12)
__
You plot these (x, y) points the same way you plot <em>any</em> point on a coordinate grid. The first (x) value is the horizontal distance from the vertical axis. Positive is to the right. The second (y) value is the vertical distance from the horizontal axis. Positive is up.
__
Of course, the origin is where the horizontal and vertical axes meet. It can be convenient to find one of the coordinates on its respective axis, then use the other coordinate to find the point at the desired distance from that axis.
Usually, you would choose the axis on the basis of how easy it is to determine exactly where the coordinate lies. If the y-axis is marked every 5, for example, it might be hard to determine where a multiple of 4 will lie. Locating the x-coordinate on the x-axis may be an easier way to start.
