When the equation is solved for y, it is easy to determine how many pairs of mittens can be bought if we know how many hats are bought.

When the equation is solved for y, it is easy to determine how many hats can be bought if we know how many pairs of mittens are bought.

Answer explanation

It is helpful to write the order of the items in these types of problems where x and y are used as the variables.

In this problem, the order is (mittens, hats).

So when the equation is written y=____, it's the same as mittens=____.

Answer explanation

You can always find the y-intercept by setting x=0.

In this case,

y=17/2 + 3/2 times 0

y=17/2 + 0

y=17/2

Got it! (0,17/2)

Answer explanation

Remember that when the equation is solved for y, then the slope will be the coefficient on x.

The negative sign on the 7/5 is showing us the coefficient on x is -7/5, so the slope is NEGATIVE 7/5.

slope = -7/5

The coefficient of the x is the slope of the line.

This equation doesn't have a slope, since there is no fraction.

Answer explanation

The slope is sometimes a fraction -- but not always.

When the equation is solved for y, the slope is always the coefficient of the x.

So this equation will have slope of 4.
