She purchased 5 paperbacks at $4 and 3 hardbacks at $8 for a total of $44.

h = number of hardback books
p = number of paperback books
h + p = 8
so
h = 8-p
.
4*p = price of paperbacks
8*h = price of hardbacks
4*p + 8*h = 44
.
substitute h = 8-p
.
4p + 8(8-p) = 44
4p +64 -8p = 44
-4p = -20
p = 5
h = 8-p
h = 3
.
check to be sure the values are right
4*5 = 20
3*8 = 24
20 +24 = 44

Which equation describes the function? Will give brainliest

Natalija [7]

Answer:

$y = - \frac{7}{3} x + 4$

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm going to use the process of elimination to get rid of the equations. The equation for slope is y=mx+b with b being the y-intercept. As you can see the y-intercept in this graph is 4 which removes the third equation as a possible answer. The slope is moving from left to right in a downwards direction which means it is a negative slope. The only answer with a negative slope is b therfore it is your answer.

Sketch the graph of each line. 1) y = -x +3 toto 4 3 2 1

seropon [69]

Answer:

I can't draw the graph for you here, but the y intercept is 3, and the slope is -1.

Step-by-step explanation:

First you plot a point on the y axis at 0,-3

Then you want to do a rise over run, doing -1,1 until you get enough points to graph the line.
