Y = m x + b , where m is the slope. The slope is the rise over the run or the change in x ( rooms cleaned ) over the change in y ( cost ).
125 = m * 1 + b
175 = m * 2 + b
-----------------------
b = 125 - m
175 = 2 m + 125 - m
m = 175 - 125
m = 50 ( the rate of change ), b = 75
The formula is: y = 50 x + 75
It means that the starting cost will be $75 and that for every room cleaned, the cost will rise for $50.

Chin canned a number of quart jars anf a number of pints jars of tomatoes from hid garden. A pint is 16 onces and a quart is 32

ryzh [129]

Answer:

The equation which models the scenario is: 16 p + 32 q = 1280

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of pints packed = p

The total number of quarts packed = q

The weight of 1 pint jar of tomatoes = 16 oz

So, the total weight of p pints = p x ( Weight of 1 pint) = p x ( 16 oz) = 16 p

The weight of 1 quart jar of tomatoes = 32 oz

So, the total weight of q quarts = q x ( Weight of 1 quart) = q x ( 32 oz)

= 32 q

Now, the TOTAL WEIGHT of p pints and q quarts

= Total weight of { p pints + q quarts} = 16 p + 32 q

Also, chin canned a total of 1280 ounces.

⇒ TOTAL WEIGHT of p pints and q quarts = 1280 ounces

or, 16 p + 32 q = 1280 ounces

Hence, equation which models the scenario is: 16 p + 32 q = 1280
