Susan can pick 4 pounds of coffee beans in an hour or gather 2 pounds of nuts. Tom can pick 2 pounds of coffee beans in an hour or gather 4 pounds of nuts. Each works 6 hours per day. a. Together, what is the maximum number of pounds of coffee beans the two can pick in a day

144

Step-by-step explanation:

Susan can pick 4 pounds of coffee beans in an hour.  Tom can pick 2 pounds of coffee beans in an hour.  Together, they can pick 6 pounds of coffee an hour.

4 + 2 = 6

There are 24 hours in a day.  Multiply the time by the amount that can be picked to find the answer.

24 × 6 = 144

Together, the maximum number of pounds of coffee beans the can pick in a day is 144 pounds.

b

step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line

calculate m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 4) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (3, - 5) ← 2 points on the line

m = = = - 3

with m = - 3 and (a, b) = (3, - 5), then

y - (- 5) = - 3(x - 3), that is

y + 5 = - 3(x - 3) → b
