The independent variable is the number of sweatshirts sold so it is answer A.
(Money raised is the dependent variable because it depends on the number of sweatshirts sold.)
To graph the equation, plot a few points then connect then with a line.
f(x) = 440 - 55x
Plug in numbers for x to get the y value.
f(0) = 440
f(1) = 385
f(2) = 330
f(3) = 275
f(4) = 220
f(5) = 165
So when you graph these points, the y intercept is y = 440 because the graph crosses the y axis at (0, 440).
The x intercept is where the graph crosses the x axis. This happens when y = 0.
0 = 440 - 55x. Solve for x.
55x = 440
x = 8
So the x intercept is x = 8

Answer: The question is incomplete
Step-by-step explanation: The answer to this question cannot be determined correctly since an important detail is missing.
However, let me explain how you would normally go about it by using an example of mine. If for example the ratio of yes votes to no votes was 8 to 5, and the question requires you to calculate how many yes votes were there as indicated in your question, then the first step would be to find the total number of both sides of the ratio. That is add 8 to 5 which gives you 13. This means if there was a total of 13 votes cast, every yes vote stands for 8 out of 13 votes and every no vote stands for 5 out of 13 votes.
To express it mathematically, every yes vote would be 8/13 of the total (12779) and every no vote would be 5/13 of the total (12779).
Therefore to determine how many yes votes there was, is calculated as follows;
Let yes votes be y and no votes be x'
y = (8/13) * 12779
y = 102232/13
y = 7864
<em>Based on my example that the ratio of yes votes to no votes is 8 to 5, </em>
Then the number of yes votes was 7,864.
