Ok so, based on the graph lets say that x = seconds and y = depth of dolphin. the interception in both points is when they are at 0 i.e when x is equals 0 and y equals 0. So At 0 seconds, the dolphin is 42 feet below the surface. So we say that x = 0, y = -42 and then the y intercepts = -42 so the point of interception is(0 (seconds),-42(depth of the dolphin)) When the clock says it's 14 seconds, the dolphin is even with the surface (0 below the surface this time). So we say that x = 14, y = 0. In this case The x intercept = 14 (14,0). But we need to calculate The slope with the formula= (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) = 42/14 = 3. Therefore, the formula for this line is y = 3x - 42.
Hello!
You can solve this algebraically
p + n = 115
p + 4.25n = 358.75
Subtract the two equations to eliminate p
-3.25n = -243.75
Divide both sides by -3.25
n = 75
Put n into the first equation
p + 75 = 115
Subtract 75 from both sides
p = 40
The answers are,
40 pounds of peanuts were sold
75 pounds of pecans were sold
Hope this helps!
