Carol got $500 for her birthday. She wants to buy some video games and a gaming system. An Xbox 1 costs $278. A new game costs $62. What is the most amount of games Carol can afford?

She can buy 3 games.

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Carol got $500 for her birthday.

Xbox 1= $278

A new game costs $62

First, we need to structure the total cost formula:

Total cost= 278 + 62x

x= number of games

Now, we can isolate x:

500= 278 + 62x

222/62= x

3.58=x

She can buy 3 games.

step-by-step explanation:

let

we know that

the y-intercept is the y-coordinate of the point when the value of x is equal to zero

so

the y-coordinate of the point a is the y-intercept

the answer part a) is

the value of y-intercept is

part b) find the slope m

we know that

the value of the slope is equal to

substitute the values

therefore

the answer part b) is

the value of the slope is equal to

the general answer is

the slope is

the value of y-intercept is
