    Lisa traveled to two farmers market on Tuesday and at the first market Lisa saw 4 apples and 6 bananas and at the second market she saw 6 apples and 9 bananas, so set each problem to 18 and find the slope intercept form.

Let x be apples and y be bananas

4x+6y=18

The slope intercept form of 4x+6y=18 y=-2/3+3

6x+9y=18

••

The slope intercept form of 6x+9y=18 y=-2/3+2

In case you were wondering how to find the slope intercept form, the procedure is to get y by itself and then divide each number by the number with y.

                      ex. 6x+9y=18y

       -6x                     -6x

9y=-6x+18y

9 divide each side by nine

y=-2/3+2

          

Perseverance

By gnawing through a dike, even a rat may drown a nation.

This quote says through perseverance anything is possible for the little things in life to make a huge impact
