Answer:
y = 5x
Step-by-step explanation:
y = 5x where x is the number of questions answered correctly
Coordinates are written in the form (x,y), x being a certain length along the horizontal x axis and y being a certain height along the vertical y axis. Positive y numbers are in the top half of the plane and negative y numbers are on the bottom. Positive x numbers are on the right side of the plane and negative x numbers are on the left. Therefore, (3,-7) would be 3 across to the right from the origin (where the x and y axes intersect) at (3,0) and 7 downwards from that point to (3,-7).
<em>It's nice of you to offer, but no thanks.</em>
To correctly graph this, you need to set up a simple equation and table of values. Luckily, this equation is dead-simple; I'll define <em>y</em> as the total cost and <em>x</em> as the number of water bottles sold.

Since 1.50$ is the cost for one bottle, multiplying that with your variable that defined the amount of bottles, <em>x</em>, gets you the total, <em>y</em>. Now that we have a basic equation, we can begin plugging in values.
Recall that a function is basically just something that takes in a value and returns another one; in our case, it takes the <em>amount of bottles</em> and returns the <em>total cost. </em>Now, plug in the x-values present on the graph (specifically only whole numbers, since you can't have a half bottle). I can't make a proper table but I'll make do.
x y
--------
0 0
1 1.5
2 3
3 4.5
4 6
5 7.5
-----------
Great, now that you have a table of values all you have to do is plug them into the graph, which I've attached. It's pretty crude since I drew it in mspaint but I'm sure you get the point at this point.
First subtract 8.5 from both sides, then divide the -1.2 to get x by itself
x=1.5
Answer:
Sum of money invested in corporate bonds = 30,000
Step-by-step explanation:
Total sum = 40,000
The rate of interest for corporate bonds = 10 % = 0.1
The rate of interest for municipal bonds = 6 % = 0.06
Total interest = 3600
Let sum of money invested in corporate bonds = x
The sum of money invested in municipal bonds = 40000 - x
× 0.1 × 1 + (
) × 0.06 × 1 = 3600
(0.1- 0.06)
+ 2400 = 3600
0.04
= 1200
= 30,000
Since x = sum of money invested in corporate bonds
So sum of money invested in corporate bonds = 30000
