So, pretend this is your x-axis and y-axis:
I
I
(-2,7) • I
I
I • (2, 5)
I
I
I
I
_________________I____________________
I
I
I
TO GET FROM POINT (-2, 7) TO POINT (2, 5), WE MOVE DOWN 2 AND OVER 4, SO THE SLOPE IS -1/2. IF WE FOLLOW THAT SLOPE AND MOVE DOWN 1 AND OVER 2 FROM THE FIRST POINT OF (-2, 7), WE WILL LAND ON A POINT LOCATED AT (0, 6), WHICH WOULD BE THE "Y-INTERCEPT". WE WERE JUST ABLE TO CALCULATE THE SLOPE OF THE LINE AND THEN USE THE SLOPE TO FIND THE INTERCEPT. SO, THE "SLOPE-INTERCEPT" FORM OF THE EQUATION FOR THIS LINE IS:
y = -1/2x + 6
TO RE-WRITE THIS IN STANDARD FORM, WE JUST WANT TO MOVE THE X VARIABLE OVER TO THE LEFT WITH THE Y VARIABLE, SO:
y = -1/2x + 6
+1/2x + 1/2x
1/2x + y = 6 .... and that is your answer!
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
x = total number of students
1500 + 367x = 16,600
367x = 16,600 - 1500
367x = 15100
x = 15100 / 367
x = 41.14.......rounds to 41 students <==
this only works if the port fees and taxes that the city gave them are included in the money the class raised
Answer:
C. $20,000
Step-by-step explanation:
2,824*$7.50=$21,315
Since there are 300 students you have to use proportions to solve the percents. First for strawberry you need to set up a proportion such as x/300=30/100 to show you are trying to find 30%of 300. Then you must cross multiply so 300 times 30 and 100 times x. Then you have 9,000 and 100, so you divide 9,000 by 100 and then you get 90 which is the portion of kids who liked strawberry flavored ice cream. You should do the exact same thing for vanilla ice cream like this: x/300=29/100 but since you’re finding 29% you need to put a 29 over 100. Then you cross multiply and do 300 times 29 and do x times 100. Which makes you get 8,700 and 100, and then you divide 8,700 by 100 and get 87 for vanilla ice cream. Lastly you need to subtract 87 from 90 since it asked how many more students liked strawberry than vanilla: 90-87=
