Answer:

y = 1/4x -3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The "run" (horizontal distance) between the two marked points is 6-(-2)=8.

The "rise" (vertical distance) between the two marked points is 1 -(-1) = 2.

The slope of the line shown is ...

m = rise/run = 2/8 = 1/4

A parallel line will have the same slope.

The y-intercept of the desired line can be found from ...

b = y -mx

For point (2, -1) and slope 1/4, the y-intercept will be ...

b = -1 -1/4(2) = -3/2

Then the equation of the parallel line is ...

y = mx +b . . . . . . . line with slope m and y-intercept b

y = 1/4x -3/2

A video game system costs $185 and one video game costs $14.95. You can spend no more than $280 on the system and games. set up

disa [49]

Answer:

Therefore the maximum number of video games that we can purchase

is 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

i) Let us say the number of video game system we can buy that costs $185

is x and the number of video games of cost $14.95 is y.

ii) The total amount we can spend on the purchase of the video game

system is $280.

iii) Now with the amount of $280 mentioned in ii) we can see that the

number of game systems that can be bought is 1.

Therefore x = 1.

Therefore the equation we can write to equate the number of video

games and video game system is given by $185 + $14.95 × y ≤ 280

Therefore 14.95 × y ≤ 280 - 185 = 95

Therefore y ≤ 95 ÷ 14.95 = 6.355

Therefore the maximum number of video games that we can purchase

is 6.
