On the other hand, the slope of the line with negative slope is -2, while the slope of the line with positive slope is 3 (This can be identified since in one case, the value of y decreases by 2 for each increase of 1 unit in x, and in the other, the value of y increases by 3 for each increase of 1 unit in x).

Using the y-intercept form to represent each line, the system of equations represented by the graph must be equivalent to:

$\begin{gathered} y=-2x+5 \\ y=3x+2 \end{gathered}$

From the given options, the one that displays the correct system of equations is option A.

Therefore, the answer is:

$\begin{gathered} A) \\ y=3x+2 \\ y=-2x+5 \end{gathered}$

5/8 of the staff are male. 5/12 of the staff works part time at the aquarium. What is the fraction of the staff being a female?

Answer:3/8

Step-by-step explanation:

5/8 of the staff are male. The entire staff is represented by the fraction 8/8. Taking 5/8 from this, what we have left is

8/8-5/8 = 3/8 of the staff are female.
