Answer:
120%
Convert fraction (ratio) 30 / 25 Answer: 120%
Y = m x + b , where m is the slope. The slope is the rise over the run or the change in x ( rooms cleaned ) over the change in y ( cost ).
125 = m * 1 + b
175 = m * 2 + b
-----------------------
b = 125 - m
175 = 2 m + 125 - m
m = 175 - 125
m = 50 ( the rate of change ), b = 75
The formula is: y = 50 x + 75
It means that the starting cost will be $75 and that for every room cleaned, the cost will rise for $50.
A)
SLOPE OF f(x)
To find the slope of f(x) we pick two points on the function and use the slope formula. Each point can be written (x, f(x) ) so we are given three points in the table. These are: (-1, -3) , (0,0) and (1,3). We can also refer to the points as (x,y). We call one of the points

and another

. It doesn't matter which two points we use, we will always get the same slope. I suggest we use (0,0) as one of the points since zeros are easy to work with.
Let's pick as follows:


The slope formula is:
We now substitute the values we got from the points to obtain.

The slope of f(x) = 3
SLOPE OF g(x)
The equation of a line is y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept. Since g(x) is given in this form, the number in front of the x is the slope and the number by itself is the y-intercept.
That is, since g(x)=7x+2 the slope is 7 and the y-intercept is 2.
The slope of g(x) = 2
B)
Y-INTERCEPT OF g(x)
From the work in part a we know the y-intercept of g(x) is 2.
Y-INTERCEPT OF f(x)
The y-intercept is the y-coordinate of the point where the line crosses the y-axis. This point will always have an x-coordinate of 0 which is why we need only identify the y-coordinate. Since you are given the point (0,0) which has an x-coordinate of 0 this must be the point where the line crosses the y-axis. Since the point also has a y-coordinate of 0, it's y-intercept is 0
So the function g(x) has the greater y-intercept
For this case we convert the mixed numbers to fractions:
Dwight:
Mike:
It is observed, that in fact, Mike takes more time to travel the road.
We subtract to know how much more time it takes Mike:

So, Mike takes
hours more than Dwight to walk the road.
Answer:
Mike takes
hours longer than Dwight to walk the road.
Answer: A = 2500 (1.035)^n
A= $ 4,974.47
Step-by-step explanation:
A=P(1+r)^n
A= Amount
P= Principal
R= rate
N= # of years
A= 2500(1.035)^n
N=20
2500(1.035)^20
A= 4,974.47
