Write an equation system based on the problem
An equation for Lily's expense is
∴ 3.6f + s = 11.2  <u>(first equation)</u>
An equation for Alan's expense is
∴ 5f + 2.5s = 20   <u>(second equation)</u>
f stands for the price of a kilogram of flour, s stands for the price of a kilogram of sugar

From the first equation, solve for s
3.6f + s = 11.2
s = 11.2 - 3.6f

Subtitute s with (11.2 - 3.6f) in the second equation
5f + 2.5s = 20
5f + 2.5(11.2 - 3.6f) = 20
5f + 28 - 9f = 20
-4f + 28 = 20
-4f = 20 - 28
-4f = -8
f = -8/-4
f = 2
A kilogram of flour is $2

Subtitute f with 2 to find the value of s
s = 11.2 - 3.6f
s = 11.2 - 3.6(2)
s = 11.2 - 7.2
s = 4
A kilogram of sugar is $4

ololo11 [35]
(1,2)(4,-1)
slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
slope = (-1 - 2) / (4 - 1) = -3/3 = -1

the slope is -1......I am not sure of the mistake.....unless she just added (-1 - 2) and got 3 instead of -3.......or when dividing -3/3....she maybe forgot about the negative sign

Answer: No

Step-by-step explanation: No, because a proportional relationship is  a line that goes up at a constant rate, and goes through the origin, an example of a proportional relationship is a straight line starting from the origin ( or what we call the starting point)
