Please help i have no idea what this is :(

y=-1/2x+3

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope intercept form is written: y=mx+b...

y=doesn't change, but you need it by itself

m=slope

x=the variable right next to the slope

b=y-intercept

Also, don't worry! This is super simple ^^

The question gives us -1/2 as the slope, so it needs to be plugged into the equation as m (next to x). Now our equation looks like this:

y=-1/2x+b

Next, we can figure out b. B is the y-intercept and we can figure this out by looking at the ordered pair (8, 3). The y is the second number, which is 3, so that is the y-intercept! We can now plug in 3 into b. Our final equation looks like this:

y=-1/2x+3

Hope this helps!! Have an awesome day ❤

The possible values of the number of hours clearing tables are 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the problem

- Madelyn is making $20 per hour life guarding

- She is making $12 per hour clearing tables

- She can work no more than 13 total hours

∴ The greatest time she can work is 13 hours (≤)

- She must earn no less than $180

∴ The least money she wants to earn is $180 (≥)

- If Madelyn worked 8 hours life guarding and assume that she

 worked x hours clearing tables

∵ She can work no more than 13 hours

∴ 8 + x ≤ 13

- Subtract 8 from both sides

∴ x ≤ 5 ⇒ (1)

∵ She must earn no less than $180

∴ 8 × 20 + x × 12 ≥ 180

∴ 160 + 12x ≥ 180

- Subtract 60 from both sides

∴ 12x ≥ 20 ⇒ (2)

- From equation (1) ⇒ x = 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5

- Substitute x in equation (2) by these values to find the right values

 of x

# If x = 1

∴ 12(1) ≥ 20

- But 12 is less than 20

∴ x can not be 1

# x = 2

∴ 12(2) ≥ 20

∴ 24 ≥ 20

- 24 is greater than 20 then x can be 2

∵ 3 , 4 , 5 greater than 2

∴ All of them give answers greater than 20

∴ x can be 3 , 4, 5

∵ x represents the number of hours for clearing tables

∴ The possible values of the number of hours clearing tables are

   2 , 3 , 4 , 5 hours
