Add 6 to both sides so that you can get the variable by itself
Find the "unit cost." Divide the total price paid by the number of units sold:
$p
------------ = $(p/8) / lamp
8 lamps
The unit cost is p/8 dollars per lamp.
Answer:
see explanation
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 )
(a)
here m = -
and c = 6, hence
y = -
x + 6 ← equation of line
(b)
here m = 6, hence
y = 6x + c ← is the partial equation
to find c substitute (2, - 6 ) into the partial equation
- 6 = 12 + c ⇒ c = - 6 - 12 = - 18
y = 6x - 18 ← equation of line
(c)
to calculate m use the gradient formula
m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 1, 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (4, 7)
m =
=
, hence
y =
x + c ← is the partial equation
to find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation
using (- 1, 3 ), then
3 = -
+ c → c = 3 +
= 
y =
x +
← equation of line
You know that -3 is the Y intercept(vertical graph line) and then continue 2/1 every x value that is plugged in.
