Answer 2

Answer:

8x + 12y = 360

x-intercept = 45

y-intercept = 30

Slope = -3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

To begin, let's start with what we know

8 vans + 12 buses = 360 student

If we have vans as the variable x, having an unknown amount of students, and buses as y, also an unknown amount of students, also making 360 a flat number, we will get the equation

8x + 12y = 360

With this equation, we can find the y-intercepts and x-intercepts

The y-intercept can be found when x = 0, so let's substitute that in

8(0) + 12y = 360

   12y / 12 = 360 / 12

             y  = 30

The x-intercept can be found when y = 0, so let's substitute that in

8x + 12(0) = 360

8x/8          = 360/8

x                = 45

So, the x-intercept is 45 and the y-intercept is 30.

Next, let's find the slope. We can solve this easily by isolating y and finding the coefficient of x

8x + 12y = 360

-8x                    -8x

       12y = 360 - 8x  

12y / 12 = (360 - 8x) / 12

          y  = 30 - 3/4x

The coefficient of x is -3/4, so the slope will be -3/4
