Answer:
8/5
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the slope given two points
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
= (4- -4)/(1 - -4)
= (4+4)/(1+4)
=8/5
Answer:
x = the wight of the large box
y = the weight of the small box
A delivery of 3 large boxes and 2 small boxes has a total weight of 73 kilograms.
3x + 2y = 73
A delivery of 8 large boxes and 4 small boxes has a total weight of 177 kilograms.
8x + 4y = 177
by solving the system of equations
3x + 2y = 73
8x + 4y = 177
we find
x = 15.5 kg
y = 13.25 kg
the large box weights 15.5 kg.
the small box weights 13.25 kg.
