Slope = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
Slope = (7-5)/(9-4)
Slope = 2/5
The answer to the problem is 14
Answer:
The y-intercept is the flat fee for the pizza - $5. The slope is the charge for each additional topping - $.50
Step-by-step explanation:
c=.5m+5
y=mx+b - slope intercept formula
In the slope-intercept formula, the 'b' is the y-intercept. We know that would be the flat fee because there is no variable attached to it.
In that formala, m is the slope and is attached to a variable, x. This problem uses the variable m instead of x, but we can see that the slope for .5m would be .5. Thus, that's the charge for the toppings. Hope that helps!
Answer:
younger sibling = 29 years
older sibling = 35 years
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x = younger sibling
y = older sibling
x + y = 64 (1)
The older sibling was born 6 years before their young sibling
x = y - 6 (2)
Substitute x = y - 6 into (1)
x + y = 64
y - 6 + y = 64
2y = 64 + 6
2y = 70
y = 70/2
y = 35 years
Substitute y = 35 into (2)
x = y - 6
x = 35 - 6
x = 29 years
