Step-by-step explanation:
the general slope intercept form is
y = ax + b
a is the slope (and always the factor of x). it is expressed as ratio y/x indicating how many units y changes, when x changes a certain amount of units when going from one point to another.
b is the y-intercept, the y value of the point, where the line crosses the y-axis (in other words : the y value when x = 0).
so, look at the chart. where do we see points with integer coordinates (these are the easiest to read correctly and work with) ?
I see for example (0, -6) and (4, -7).
to go from the first to the second point :
x changes by +4 units (from 0 to 4).
y changes by -1 unit (from -6 to -7).
the slope a is therefore -1/4.
and the first point i picked gives us also automatically the y-intercept (-6).
so, the line equation is
y = (-1/4)x - 6
Answer:
£15.7
Step-by-step explanation:
32 cans x 50P = 1600p
1600p to Pounds = £26.66 (1600 divided by 60)
Remaining cans = 18 (50 - 32)
18 cans x 20p = 360p
360p to Pounds = £6 (360 divided by 60)
£26.66 + £6 = £32.66
£32.66 (Profit) - £17 (Cost of cans) = £15.66
15.66 to 3SF = 15.7
She has 8 nickles and 16 dimes. 8 * .05 = .40 and 16 * .10= 1.60... 1.60+.40 =2.00 :)
Answer:
Length equals 16 and Width equals 4
Step-by-step explanation:
First let us create an equation. We can use L and W for length and width.
If the length is 4 times the width, then we end up with: L = 4W
It then says, " If its length were diminished by 6 meters and its width were increased by 6 meters, it would be a square."
Since a square has an equal length and width then we end up with:
L - 6 = W + 6
Knowing this we can just substitute the first equation into the second one leaving us with: 4W - 6 = W + 6
We then remove a W from both sides so that the right side is left with a 6, and add 6 to both sides to remove the -6 from the left one.
This leaves us with 3W = 12
W = 4, and if we put that into our first equation, L = 4W, then Length equals 16, and Width equals 4. We can check this by putting it into the 2nd equation. 16 - 6 = 4 + 6.
