Find the slope of the line passing throught the points (2, 2) and (4, 3).
The formula of a slope:
Substitute:
If the point (x, -1) lie on the same line, then the slope of line passing through the points (2, 2) and (x, -1) the same:
Substitute:
We have the equation:
<em>cross multiply</em>
<em>add 2 to both sides</em>
<h3>Answer: x = -4.</h3>
It is equal because every 2000 pounds is 1 ton and 18000lb divided by 2000 equals 9.
Answer A is correct because the straight line is called a parallel line
Answer:
7 Zuchini, 14 Cucumbers and 22 Tomatoes plants.
Step-by-step explanation:
- Let the number of tomatoes=t
- Let the number of cucumber planted=c
- Let the number of zucchini planted=z
- Total Number of Plants=43
She planted twice as many cucumbers as zucchini, this is written as:
She also planted eight more tomatoes than cucumbers, this is written as:
In total, she planted 43 plants
Therefore:
z+(2z)+(2z+8)=43
5z+8=43
5z=43-8
5z=35
Divide both sides by 5
z=7
Number of Cucumbers, c=2z=2 X 7 =14
Number of Tomatoes, t=c+8=14+8=22
Therefore, she planted 7 Zuchini, 14 Cucumbers and 22 Tomatoes plants.
