What is the slope of the graph of 14x + 7y = –9?

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

We will put ur equation in y = mx + b form, and the slope will be in the m position.

14x + 7y = -9
7y = -14x - 9
y = (-14/7)x - 9/7
y = -2x - 9/7

y = mx + b
y = -2x + (-9/7)....as u can see, the -2 is in the m position and is therefore the slope.

A bowl contains blueberries and strawberries there are a total of 20 bares in the bowl the ratio blueberries to strawberries is

Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

16 blueberries and 4 strawberries

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A bowl contains blueberries and strawberries there are a total of 20 berries in the bowl.

The ratio blueberries to strawberries is 4 to 1

Question asked:

How many of each berry are in the bowl ?

Solution:

Ratio of blueberries and strawberries = 4 : 1

Let ratio be $x$

Number of blueberries in the bowl = $4x$

Number of strawberries in the bowl = $1x=x$

As total berries in the bowl are 20 and the bowl contains both blueberries and strawberries in the ratio 4 : 1 :-

$4x+x=20\\5x=20\\$

Dividing both sides by 5

$x=4$

Number of strawberries in the bowl = $x$ = 4

Number of blueberries in the bowl = $4x$ = $4\times4=16$

Thus, there are 16 blueberries and 4 strawberries in the bowl.
