Answer:

y=\frac{3}{4}x+2

Step-by-step explanation:

So when you express a linear function in slope-intercept form it's given in the form of y=mx+b, where m is the slope, and b is the y-intercept. This is because as x increases by 1, the y-value will increase by m (because multiplication), and since the slope is defined as rise/run, the rise will be m, and run will be 1, giving you a slope of m/1 or m. The reason b is the y-intercept, is because whenever the linear function crosses the y-axis, the x-value will always be 0. Meaning that mx will be 0 because m * 0 will equal 0... and that leaves b by it self, so b will determine the y-intercept.

So if you look at the graph, the linear function crosses the y-axis as (0, 2) so the value of b will be 2. This gives you the equation y=mx+2.

Now to calculate the slope, we can take any two points and see how much the rise was and how much the run was. It can also be more formally defined in the equation: y=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}. So let's take the points (0, 2) and (8, 8). As you can see the x-value increases by 8 or "ran" by 8, and the y-value increased by 6. So the rise over run in this case is 6/8 which can simplified as 3/4. That is the slope. This gives you the complete equation of: y=\frac{3}{4}x+2

4 Ayla s is paid $15 20 per hour for a 34 hour week. April has the same weekly pay but works 38
VashaNatasha [74]

Find Atlas weekly pay by multiplying rate by hours:

15.20 x 34 = 516.80 a week.

Now to find Apri’s rate divide the weekly pay by hours:

516.80 / 38 =$13.60 per hour

Tickets for a dance recital cost $15 for adults and $7 for children. The dance company sold 253 tickets, and the total receipts
elixir [45]

Answer:

Adult tickets =125

Child tickets = 128

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of adult and children tickets sold be x and y respectively

So that

x+y= 253--------1

Since total sales/receipt is $2,771

And given that tickets for a dance recital cost $15 for adults and $7 for children hence

15x+7y= 2771-------2

Solving equation 1 and 2 simultaneously we have

x+y= 253---------------1

15x+7y= 2771----------2

Let us multiply equation 1 by 15 to get equation 3 to eliminate x and subtract equation 2 from 3

15x+15y=3795---------3

-{15x+7y= 2771----------2

0+8y=1024

8y= 1024

y= 1024/8

y= 128 tickets

So solve for x let us put y= 128 in equation 1

x+ 128=253

x=253-128

x= 125 tickets
