Answer:
y = 4x+6
The input is 11 when the output is 50
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to find the slope of this function using 2 points
(3,18) and (0,6) are two points
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) is the formula for slope
=(6-18)/(0-3)
-12/-3
=4
The slope is 4
We know the y intercept. It is the value when x =0. The y intercept is 6
We can use the slope intercept form of the equation
y = mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y intercept.
y = 4x+6
We want to know the input when the output is 50 (or y=50)
50 = 4x+6
Subtract 6 from each side
50-6 = 4x+6-6
44 = 4x
Divide by 4
44/4 = 4x/4
11=x
The input is 11
