ANSWER QUICKLY!Sal's Sandwich Shop sells wraps and sandwiches as part of its lunch specials. The profit on every sandwich is $2, and the profit on every wrap is $3. Sal made a profit of $1,470 from lunch specials last month. The equation 2x + 3y = 1,470 represents Sal's profits last month, where x is the number of sandwich lunch specials sold and y is the number of wrap lunch specials sold.

Answer: Down below

Step-by-step explanation: First you should graph a dot at the y intercept (490), then move down from the y-intercept 2/3 of a square and graph a dot there, and lastly draw a line connecting the two dots.

Answer:

y=-2/3x+490

Explanation:

When we look at this standard form equation, we can see that

2x+3y=1,470.

To convert this to slope-intercept form, we would simplify this equation to where y is on one side and everything else is on the other side.

2x+3y=1,470

-2x -2x

3y=-2x+1,470

÷3 ÷3

y=-2/3x+490

You would then graph that with -2/3 being your slope and (0,490) being your y-intercept.

Hope this helps!
