Sal's Sandwich Shop sells wraps and sandwiches as part of its lunch specials. The profit on every sandwich is $2, and the profit on every wrap is $3. Sal made a profit of $1,470 from lunch specials last month. The following equation represents Sal's profits last month, 2x + 3y = 1,470 where x is the number of sandwich lunch specials sold and y is the number of wrap lunch specials sold.

What is the Slope- Intercept form, y-intercept, and slope for this problem

What is the Slope- Intercept form, y-intercept, and slope for this problem

Gucchi · Answer

The y intercept is 490 and slop is -2x/3 right?

Gucchi · Answer

yh but what about the slope intercept form

Gucchi · Answer

3y = 1470 – 2x

Gucchi · Answer

this?

no, that wouldn't be correct. your question is answered in the link that nessa gave but basically, slope intercept form is y = mx +b m = slope y = y-intercept You already know the slope and y-intercept so just plug in the values instead of the words :)

axie · Answer

I always use some thing called desmos.com to find these out. pretty easy to use tool

Gucchi · Answer

wait so y = 2x + 490

no i dont think so

Gucchi · Answer

so where does 3y go?

carmelle · Answer

@gucchi wrote:

wait so y = 2x + 490

is your slope "2x" or `"-2/3x"`?

Gucchi · Answer

OHH

so y = -2/3x + b

Gucchi · Answer

but does the x go after 2 or 3?

Gucchi · Answer

or can it be either

TETSXPREME · Answer

It goes after 2

yea, you're almost there, remember, b = y-intercept

Gucchi · Answer

yh my y inter is 490 right

b = y-intercept* typo sorry

exactly, so your final answer would be what?

Gucchi · Answer

y = -2x/3 + 490 but what abt 3y?

carmelle · Answer

we solved for y so 3y is gone, do you understand?

Gucchi · Answer

ohh true

Gucchi · Answer

yh
