The 3 x 5 matrix shows the number of sandwiches sold over five days at the school canteen. What does the number tell you which is: (06 Marks) (a) in the second row and the third column (b) in the third row and the fourth column (c) in the first row and the fifth column M T W T F Cheese 50 45 52 47 39 Salad 61 44 48 38 51 Chicken 53 46 39 42 52

a. 48 salads were bought on Wednesday

b. 42 chickens were bought on Thursday

c. 39 cheese were bought on Friday

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Cheese ----- 50 -- 45 - 52 - 47 --39

Salad -------- 61 -- 44 - - 48 - 38 -- 51

Chicken ---- 53 -- 46 - - 39 - 42 -- 52

First, it should be noted that the horizontal data represent the row while the vertical data represent the column.

Having said that, the solution is as follows:

Solving (a): Second Row, Third column

The data at the second row are:

Salad -------- 61 -- 44 - - 48 - 38 -- 51

The data at the third column is then limited to:

------------------W

Salad -------- 48

So the number at this position implies that: 48 salads were bought on Wednesday

Solving (b): Third Row, Fourth column

The data at the second row are:

Chicken ---- 53 -- 46 - - 39 - 42 -- 52

The data at the fourth column is then limited to:

------------------- T

Chicken ---- 42

So the number at this position implies that: 42 chickens were bought on Thursday

Solving (c): First Row, Fifth column

The data at the first row are:

Cheese ----- 50 -- 45 - 52 - 47 --39

The data at the fifth column is then limited to:

------------------F

Cheese ----- 39

So the number at this position implies that: 39 cheese were bought on Friday

answer: 43/157

this is the answer and if you try to prove me wrong your a meanie

y = 3x+4

step-by-step explanation:

to find the slope

slope = (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

    = (-8-4)/ (-4-0)

    = -12/-4

  = 3

using the slope intercept form of a line

y= mx+b

we know the slope is 3

we know the y intercept is 4 ( the point where it crosses the y axis or x=0)

y = 3x+4
