Answer:

Please check the explanatio.

Explanation:

Solving Part b)

We know that the slope-intercept form of the equation line is


y=mx+b

where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

Given the equation


4x+2y=16

Re-writing the equation in the slope-intercept form


4x+2y=16


y=-2x+8

Here, m=-2 and b=8

Thus, the equation in the slope-intercept form will be:


y=-2x+8

Solving Part c)

As you sold two pounds of cheddar cheese.

i.e. y=2

substituting y=2 in the slope-intercept form of the line equation


y=-2x+8


2=-2x+8

Subtract 8 from both sides


-2x+8-8=2-8


-2x=-6

Divide both sides by -2


(-2x)/(-2)=(-6)/(-2)


x=3

You sold 3 pounds of swiss cheese.

Solving Part d)


y=-2x+8

putting x=2.5 in the equation


y=-2x+8


2=-2\left(2.5\right)+8


2=3

The sides are not equal

FALSE

Thus, x=2.5 does not make any sense in the context of the problem.
