Algebra system of inequality

Question

What is 2.5p + 4m<= 30 in y=mx+b form? Also need the steps to get it, thank you!

Answer 1

Hi Nayeli C

According your comment above, p is the independent variable, so m is the dependent variable.

Therefore in

y = mx + b

Where x is the independent variable and y is the dependent variable

p = x

m = y

Take

2.5p + 4m ≤ 30

1. Make it an equality
2. Solve for m
3. Isolate m on one side of the equation
4. Divide both sides of the equation by 4

2.5 p + 4m = 30

4m = -2.5p + 30

m = -0.6p + 7.5

According to your information above

m = -0.6p + 7.5 is in the Slope Intercept Form

y = mx + b

I will leave it to you to follow the signs and set up the inequality in this format.
