Answer: choice C, y = 0.014x+0.85
==============================
Explanation:
Each column of the table represents an (x,y) pair of values
x = number of pages
y = cost
If we look at the first two columns, we see the two points (50,1.55) and (100,2.25). The x value is listed first. Let's compute the slope of the line through these two points
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m = (2.25-1.55)/(100-50)
m = 0.7/50
m = 0.014
So far, we see the answer is between A,B or C as they have the slope of 0.014
Use this slope value, and one of the points -- say (x,y) = (50,1.55) -- to find the y intercept b
y = mx+b
y = 0.014x+b .... plug in the slope found earlier
1.55 = 0.014*50+b ... plug in the point (x,y) = (50,1.55)
1.55 = 0.7+b
1.55-0.7 = 0.7+b-0.7 ... subtract 0.7 from both sides
0.85 = b
b = 0.85
With m = 0.014 as the slope and b = 0.85 as the y intercept, we can say that y = mx+b turns into y = 0.014x+0.85. That narrows the answer down to choice C.
Answer:
-24
Step-by-step explanation:
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAA A AAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAA A A A AAAAAAA A A AAAAA AAAA.
Step-by-step explanation:
E
Y = mx + b
slope(m) = -3/4
(3,3)....x = 3 and y = 3
now we sub and find b, the y int
3 = -3/4(3) + b
3 = -9/4 + b
3 + 9/4 = b
12/4 + 9/4 = b
21/4 = b.....or 5.25 for graphing purposes
so ur equation is : y = -3/4x + 21/4
ur y int = (0,21/4) or (0,5.25)
ur x int can be found by subbing in 0 for y and solving for x
y = -3/4x + 21/4
0 = -3/4x + 21/4
3/4x = 21/4
x = 21/4 * 4/3
x = 84/12 = 7.....so ur x int is (7,0)
so plot ur points (7,0) and (0,5.25)....now start at (0,5.25) and since the slope is -3/4, come down 3 spaces and go to the right 4 spaces, then down 3, and to the right 4 and u will eventually cross the x axis at (7,0)
12, because 150/25=6x2 is 12
