Georgia is purchasing treats for her classmates. Georgia can spend exactly $10 to purchase 25 fruit bars, each equal in price. Georgia can also spend exactly $10 to purchase 40 granola bars, each equal in price. The equation is .40x+.25y=10.00. I just need to know how to graph it.

Question

bibby · Answer

you can get it into y = mx+b form by subtracting .40 x

anonymous · Answer

So you would come out with .25y=-.40x+10

bibby · Answer

Then you have 
.25y=-0.40x+10.00

Multiply each term by 4 to get:

y=-1.6x+40.00

anonymous · Answer

So on the graph you would go up 40 then go down 1.6 over 1

bibby · Answer

1.6 over 1?

Even if you didn't multiply by 4, you'd make a table and plot some points

anonymous · Answer

What? I'm confused...

anonymous · Answer

Why wouldn't go down 1.6 over 1?

bibby · Answer

You have 2 lines
.25y=-0.40x+10.00
y=-1.6x+40.00

they're the same exact line

anonymous · Answer

I have to graph it.

bibby · Answer

so make a table.|dw:1397689243359:dw|

anonymous · Answer

So if you buy 2 fruit bars you'll be able to buy 36.8 granola bars?

bibby · Answer

Where'd you get those numbers from?

2 fruit bars cost 0.80. That means there's 9.20 left for granola bars.

anonymous · Answer

I'm literally so confused. Will you make the table?

bibby · Answer

oh, you were right

bibby · Answer

lol, sorry. I'm a tad braindead right now.

anonymous · Answer

Im still confused.

bibby · Answer

y represents the fruits  bars, x represents the granola bar

anonymous · Answer

I know that

the_fizicx99 · Answer

What is you need bibbeh :o how to graph it?

bibby · Answer

yeah graph it pls

anonymous · Answer

Yesss

the_fizicx99 · Answer

Gimmie the equation .-.

anonymous · Answer

.40x+.25y=10

bibby · Answer

it's up in the first post. .40x+.25y=10.00

the_fizicx99 · Answer

.40x+.25y=10
-.40x           -.40x

0.25y = -0.40x + 10
/0.25       /0.25     /0.25

y = -1.6x + 40

plot it at (0,40) and apply rise / over

it's negative so go down 1.6 and run 1

bibby · Answer

forgive me :<

the_fizicx99 · Answer

I forgive you :*

anonymous · Answer

So what's the slope of the line?

the_fizicx99 · Answer

-1.6

bibby · Answer

y = -1.6x + 40
is in the form y = mx + b where m is the slope

the_fizicx99 · Answer

Go bibbeh ~ ♦o♦

anonymous · Answer

Okay and explain what the slope means in the context of Georgia purchasing treats?

the_fizicx99 · Answer

Idk about that, I only came here to fix the equation :> bib you got this ;)

anonymous · Answer

ughh

bibby · Answer

it represents the amount of granola bars
