The equation is an illustration of a linear function
The rate of change is 10 and the initial value is 25
<h3>How to determine the rate of change and the initial value</h3>
The equation is given as:

A linear equation is represented as:

Where:
- b represents the initial value
- m represents the rate
By comparison:
b = 25
m = 10
Hence, the rate of change is 10 and the initial value is 25

so we know that each m&m weighs about 2g.
the next line says to write a direct variation equation.
(definition: mathematical relationship between two variables that can be expressed by an equation in which one variable is equal to a constant times the other)
we then make the equation ( w=xm), then we use that equation to figure out the next line, which is to find the amount of m&ms that would fit in a bag of 1000.
(my head cant really process part a cause of a recent headache, so sorry if its wrong)
the answer to part b would be 500, which you can provide evidence based off of your part a equation.
Answer:
P = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
The problem cannot be fully solved because you did provide the line on which the line is parallel/ but i can give you the steps on how to solve it. first solve the slope of the parallel line by
m = ( y2 - y1 ) / ( x2 - x1 )
then the slope of that line is equal to slope of line passing pooint ( -1 , 1)
then solve the y intercept of the line using
y = mx + b
where b is the y intercept
then you will have the equation of the line
$72.
20% of 60 is 12
$12 + $60 = $72
