Answer:
- $70
- y = 25 + 0.9x
- $250
Step-by-step explanation:
1. 10% of $50 is $5, so the purchases would come to $50 -5 = $45. Added to the $25 membership fee, the total cost for the year would be
$45 +25 = $70
2. The member pays $25 even if no purchases are made. Then any purchases are 100% - 10% = 90% of the marked price. So, the total is ...
y = 25 + 0.90x
3. $25 is 10% of $250, so that is the amount the member would have to purchase to break even on cost.
If you like, you can compare the cost without the membership (x) to the cost with the membership (25+.9x) and see where those costs are equal.
x = 25 +0.9x . . . . . x is the spending level at which there is no advantage
0.1x = 25 . . . . . . . . subtract 0.9x
25/0.1 = x = 250 . . . divide by 0.1

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
y = (3/4)x + 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope-intercept form is y=mx+b where (x, y) is a point on the linear graph, m is the slope (rise/run), and b is the y-intercept (the y-value at which the graph passes through the y-axis).
Looking at the graph, we can see that the point at which the line crosses the y-axis is (0, 2) which makes it the y-intercept. Thus, the b in the slope-intercept form is 2.
Next, we are looking for the slope of the line. To do this, we can calculate the rise/run of the line by choosing to points on it. Since we already have the point (0, 2), we just need one more.
For example, the point (-4, -1) can be used. The slope can be found by ((y-y)/(x-x)) in which the first y and x values correspond with the first point and that of the second correspond with the second set. So in this case, m = (2-(-1))/(0-(-4)) = 3/4
Plugging in the calculated m and b value in the slope intercept equation, we get y = (3/4)x + 2
