    1.5y = - 4.5x+9 or y = - 3x+6

    and y = - x+3

    Step-by-step explanation:

    First, you need to make a system of linear equations.

    x=pounds for cherries

    y=pounds for grapes

    This would be:

    4x+1.5y=9

    x+y=3

    Then, change the equations into slope intercept form.
