Answer:
3 is greater than -4, but the line with slope -4 is steeper than the line with slope 3.
Step-by-step explanation:
3 is greater than -4, so strictly speaking, a slope of 3 is greater than a slope of -4.
On the other hand, the steepness of a line depends on the absolute value of the slope.
|3| = 3
|-4| = 4
Since 4 > 3, the line with slope -4 is steeper than the line with slope 3.
Answer: 3 is greater than -4, but the line with slope -4 is steeper than the line with slope 3.
By minusing 12 to both sides
d+12=2
-12=-12
d =-10
-9x7 mutiplies to be -63, and add up to be -2.
The initial fee of $50 is essentially the y intercept because this is the value when x = 0 (x is the number of labor-hours). So b = 50.
The slope is m = 30 because each increase of 1 hour leads to the cost bumping up by 30 dollars. In other words, slope = rise/run = (change in cost)/(change in hours) = 30/1
So we plug m = 30 and b = 50 into the y = mx+b formula to get y = 30x+50
Replace y with f(x) to get f(x) = 30x+50
The linear function for the cost is f(x) = 30x+50
Note: Some books may use other letters (instead of x and f(x)), but the idea is still the same
Once you know the cost function, you replace x with 4.5 to find the amount it will cost to have a painter work for 4.5 hours.
f(x) = 30x+50
f(4.5) = 30*4.5+50
f(4.5) = 135+50
f(4.5) = 185
It will cost 185 dollars to have the painter work for 4.5 hours
