Hi there
One pound of salmon will cost $13, and one pound of tuna will cost $8.
Here's why.
X will be the cost of pound of salmon, and y will be the cost of a pound of tuna.
| 15x+8y=259
| 12x+6y-204
6y = 204-12x
y=34-2x
15x+8(34-2x)=259
272-259=16x-15x
x=13
y=34-2*13
y=34-26
y=8
So, again...
1lb Salmon : $13
1lb Tuna : $8
Yes. The situation is defined by a linear function.
<u>Solution:</u>
Given, The weekly salary of a store manager includes a $30 bonus plus the number of hours the manager works multiplied by the managers earnings per hour.
Is this situation defined by a linear function?
Yes, the above given situation is defined by a linear function.
Now, let us see the linear equation for above situation
Let the number of hours worked by manager be "x", and cost per hour be "c" and total salary be "y"
Then, total salary is given as,
Total salary = $ 30 bonus + number of hours worked
cost per hour

Above equation is a linear equation as "c" is constant ( cost per hour )
Hence, the given situation can be defined by linear function.
Answer:
The slopes of line m and p will be the same: 1/25 (I think thats what that says)
Step-by-step explanation:
when two lines are parallel it means they will never touch, and so they must have the same slope. If their slopes were different (even by 1 decimal), they would touch and so would no longer be parallel.
