Question

Jack will spend a total of exactly $15 on Redbix movies and games. What equation in standard form can he use to graoh a line showing the different amounts of movies at $1.25 and games at $2.50 he can buy

Answer 1

Answer:

$1.25x+2.5y -15 = 0$

Step-by-step explanation:

Total amount to be spent on Redbix movies and games = $15

Money to be paid for each movie = $1.25

Money to be paid for each game = $2.50

To find:

Equation in standard form that can be used to graph the line.

Solution:

First of all, let us learn about the standard form of equation of a line.

Standard form can be represented as:

$Ax+By+C =0$

Where $A,B, C$ are constants.

Now, let us try to make equation.

Let number of movies bought = $x$

Amount to be paid for movies = $1.25$x$

Let number of movies bought = $y$

Amount to be paid for movies = $2.50$y$

Total money is $15.

Therefore, we can write the equation as:

$1.25x+2.5y = 15$

Standard form can be written as:

$1.25x+2.5y -15 = 0$
