Answer:

y = (-3)\, x + 10.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question requires that the equation should be in the slope-intercept form y = m \, x + c. The m and c in this equation are constants. In particular:

  • m\! would represent the slope of this line (also known as the gradient of this line,) whereas
  • c would be the y-intercept of this line.

The question states that the slope of this line is (-3). Therefore, m = -3. Thus, the equation for this line should be in the form y = (-3)\, x + c.

The value of constant c could be found using the other piece of information: the point (3,\, 1) is in this line. In other words, the solution \text{$x = 3$ and $y = 1$} should satisfy the equation y = (-3)\, x + c.

Substitute \text{$x = 3$ and $y = 1$} into the equation y = (-3)\, x + c and solve for c:

1 = (-3) \times 3 + c.

1 = -9 + c.

c = 10.

Hence, y = (-3) \, x + 10 would be the slope-intercept form of the equation of this line.

Gladys classifies the following system of equations.
netineya [11]

The system is inconsistent because the slopes are the same and the lines are different.

A linear equation is of the form:

y = mx + b

where y, x are variables, m is the slope of the line and b is the y intercept.

Given the following system of equations:

y = 6x + 2     (1)

y = 6x + 1      (2)

We can see that both equations have the same slope of 6 but have different y intercepts.

Hence the system is inconsistent because the slopes are the same and the lines are different.

Answer:

52

Step-by-step explanation:

S(blue) = S(Whole) - S(cut part)

S(blue) = 7*11 - 5*5 = 77 - 25 = 52

A. Find the unit price for each option shown below. Round to the nearest cent when necessary. Option I: 10 candy bars for $6.75
kipiarov [429]
The unit price for option 1 is $0.68 for each candy bar. The unit price for option 2 is $0.60. So you would be getting more candy bars for your money with the second option. I hope this helps!

Andre and scott share the driving on a trip. Scott drives 7 miles more than three times tge distance Andre drives. If the trip i
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

What we know is that A + S = 111. That is, the miles Andre drove plus the miles Scott drove totalled 111 miles. What we also know is that Scott drove quite a bit more than Andre did. Scott drove 7 miles more that ( +7 ) 3 times the number of miles Andrea drove. That looks like this algebraically:

S = 3A + 7

Now we can sub in that value for S to the original equation:

If A + S = 111 and S = 3A + 7, then

A + 3A + 7 = 111 and

4A + 7 = 111 and

4A = 104 so

A = 26 and

S = 3(26) + 7 so

S = 85 miles.

Scott drove 85 miles.
