Answer:
<em>Regan sold </em><em> gallons of lemonade</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Operations with Fractions</u>
Mark sold gallons of lemonade.
Regan sold as much lemonade as Mark
We can find the portion of lemonade Regan sold by multiplying both fractions. But first, we must convert to improper fraction:
Now we multiply:
Regan sold gallons of lemonade
Answer:
(A) y - 7 = 2(x -2)
(B) y = -x + 6; y - 5 = -1(x + 1)
(C) Consistent independent
(D) (1, 5)
Step-by-step explanation:
(A) Road 1
(a) Slope
The <em>point-slope formula</em> for a straight line is
y₂ - y₁ = m(x₂ - x₁) Insert the points
3 - 7 = m(0 - 2)
-4 = m(-2) Divide each side by -2
m = -4/(-2) Divide numerator and denominator by-2,
m = 2
=====
(b) y-intercept
y₂ - y₁ = m(x₂ - x₁)
y₂ - 7 = 2(x₂ -2)
y - 7 = 2(x -2)
===============
(B) Road 2
(a) Slope
y = mx + b
Choose point (3,3)
m = (3 - 5)/(3 - 1)
m = -2/2
m = -1
=====
(b) y-intercept
y = mx +b
Choose point (3,3).
3 = -3 + b Add 3 to each side
b = 6
=====
(c) Equation of line (point-slope form)
y = mx + b
y = -x + 6
=====
(d) Equation of line (slope-intercept form)
y - 5 = -1(x - 1)
===============
(C) Consistency
The two roads intersect.
There is only one point of intersection, so this is a consistent, independent system of equations
===============
(D) Point of intersection
(1) y - 7 = 2(x - 2)
(2) y = -x + 6 Substitute (2) into (1)
-x + 6 – 7 = 2(x – 2) Remove parentheses
-x - 1 = 2x – 4 Add 4 to each side
-x +3 = 2x Add x to each side
3 = 3x Divide each side by 3
x = 1 Substitute into 2
=====
y = -1 + 6
y = 5
The point of intersection is (1, 5).
