to get the equation of any straight line, we simply need two points off of it, let's use those two points in the picture below.
keeping in mind that for the point-slope form, either point will do, in this case we used the second one, but the first one would have worked just the same.
The function for conversions from Fahrenheit to Celsius is:
Celsius = (Fahrenheit - 32) x 5/9
C(76.1) = (76.1 - 32) x 5/9
= (44.1) x 5/9
= 24.5
Therefore, 76.1 degrees Fahrenheit = 24.5 degrees Celsius.
Let c represents the cost of a candy apple and b represents the cost of a bag of peanuts.
Darius can purchase 3 candy apples and 4 bags of peanuts. So his total cost would be 3c + 4b. Darius can buy 3 candy apples and 4 bags of peanuts in $11.33,so we can write the equation as:
3c + 4b = 11.33 (1)
Darius can purchase 9 candy apples and 5 bags of peanuts. So his total cost would be 9c + 5b. Darius can buy 9 candy apples and 5 bags of peanuts in $23.56,so we can write the equation as:
9c + 5b = 23.56 (2)
<span>Darius decides to purchase 2 candy apples and 3 bags of peanuts. The total cost in this case will be 2c + 3b. To find this first we need to find the cost of each candy apple and bag of peanuts by solving the above two equations.
Multiplying equation 1 by three and subtracting equation 2 from it, we get:
3(3c + 4b) - (9c + 5b) = 3(11.33) - 23.56
9c + 12b - 9c - 5b = 10.43
7b = 10.43
b = $1.49
Using the value of b in equation 1, we get:
3c + 4(1.49) = 11.33
3c = 5.37
c = $ 1.79
Thus, cost of one candy apple is $1.79 and cost of one bag of peanuts is $1.49.
So, 2c + 3b = 2(1.79) + 3(1.49) = $ 8.05
Therefore, Darius can buy 2 candy apples and 3 bags of peanuts in $8.05</span>
The slope is -1/2. When it’s in the equation like that, the slope is always the number that has the letter X next to it.
