In a paint factory, an old conveyer line has filled 50 barrels of paint, and is filling more at a rate of 2 barrels per minute. A worker just switched on a newer line that can fill 12 barrels per minute. In a little while, the two lines will have filled an equal number of barrels. How many barrels will each line have filled?

60 barrels

Step-by-step explanation:

y = # of barrels; x = minutes

worker: y = 12x

old line: y = 2x + 50

12x = 2x + 50

10x = 50

x = 5

y = 12(5) = 60

y = 2(5) + 50 = 60

60 barrels

the slope of the line is 60

one point on the line is (40,10)

step-by-step explanation:

in the equation outside the parenthesis the equation always tells you the slope. in this case it is 60.

in the parenthesis is also says 40 which is x because it is near the x and 10 is y because it is near y.
