Write the equation in slope-intercept form with y intercept of −3 and an x intercept of −4.5.plz !

The equation of the line is y = -2/3x - 3.

To find this, we first need to turn the intercepts into ordered pairs.

x intercept: (-4.5, 0)

y intercept: (0, -3)

Now we can use these two points and the slope equation to find slope.

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = (0 - -3)/(-4.5 - 0)

m = 3/-4.5

m = -2/3

Now that we have the slope, we can use slope intercept form to find the intercept.

y = mx + b

-3 = 2/3(0) + b

-3 = 0 + b

-3 = b

Which allows us to model the equation as y = -2/3x - 3

for ex: the reciprocal of 3/4 is 4/3. it is the opposite.

reciprocal definition:

a mathematical expression or function so related to another that their product is one; the quantity obtained by dividing the number one by a given quantity.

mr. flanders’ class sold 47 doughnuts and   mr. rodriquez’s class sold 38 cartons of milk

step-by-step explanation:

let x be the number of doughnuts sold by mr. flanders’ class and y be the number of cartons sold by mr. rodriquez’s class.

1. together, the classes sold 85 items, then

x+y=85.

2. both classes earn earned $104.49 for their school. if doughnuts were sold for $1.35 each, then x doughnuts costed $1.35x. if cartons of milk were sold for $1.08 each, then y cartons costed $1.08y. hence,

1.35x+1.08y=104.49.

3. solve the system of two equations:
