Given:

Gil buys 4 books for $16. Then he sells 3 CDs for $27.

To find:

The equations for y, Gil’s change in money after buying a book, and for x, his change in money after selling a CD, in standard form.

Slope of each equation.

Gil buys 4 books for $16.

4 books = $16

1 book = $4

Let n be the number of book purchased, then change in money after buying n book is

[tex]y=-4n[/tex]

Here, negative sign represents decrease in money. Here, slope of -4 it means the money decreased by $4 after buying each book.

He sells 3 CDs for $27.

3 CDs =$27
