Slope-intercept form is:
y = mx + b
"m" is the slope, "b" is the y-intercept (the y value when x = 0)
(there is probably another way to do this, but I will be doing it this way)
Isolate the "y" in the equation
3x + 4y = 12 Subtract 3x on both sides
4y = 12 - 3x Divide 4 on both sides
or
The slope is -3/4
For lines to be parallel, they have to have the SAME slope. The given line's slope is -3/4, so the slope of the parallel line is also
Given that Angelo spends the same amount everyday from the amount in
the lunch card, the function of the amount remaining is a linear function.
Reasons:
The amount Angelo's mother put on the lunch card = $50
A possible table of values to the question is presented as follows;
Required:
The constant rate of the function that gives the amount remaining from the
amount Angelo's mother put on his lunch card.
Solution:
The two ordered pair that can be used to find the slope or constant rate of change are;
(x₁, y₁) = (1, 44.75), and (x₂, y₂) = (2, 39.5)
With the above two ordered pairs, we have the constant rate of change of the function given as follows;
The constant rate of change for the function that gives the amount remaining in the lunch card is; <u>-5.25</u>
