Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
To calculate m use the slope formula
m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )
3
Using (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 0) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 3, 6)
m = =
= - 2
Since the line passes through the origin (0, 0) then y- intercept is 0
y = - 2x ← equation of line
4
let (x₁, y₁ ) = (6, 0) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (0, 3)
m = =
= -
note the line crosses the y- axis at (0, 3) ⇒ c = 3
y = - x + 3 ← equation of line
5
let (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (-2, - 3)
m = =
= 3
note the line crosses the y- axis at (0, 3) ⇒ c = 3
y = 3x + 3 ← equation of line
Answer:
Part A) see the explanation
Part B)
Step-by-step explanation:
Part A)
we know that
A relationship between two variables, x, and C, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form or
Let
C ---> is the total cost (represent the output or dependent variable)
x ----> is the number of books (represent the input or independent variable)
In this problem
we have a proportional relationship between the variables x and C
Part B) we know that
The linear equation is given by
The constant of proportionality k is the same that the slope or unit rate of the linear equation
In this problem the constant k is given
so
For x=12 books
substitute in the equation and solve for C
In function notation
