Hi there! :)
Answer:
Given the information, we can write an equation in slope-intercept form
(y = mx + b) to graph the line:
Plug in the slope for 'm', the y-coordinate of the point given for 'y', and the
x-coordinate given for 'x':
-4 = -2/3(-7) + b
-4 = 14/3 + b
Solve for b:
-12/3 = 14/3 + b
-12/3 - 14/3 = b
-26/3 = b
Therefore, the equation of the line is y = -2/3x - 26/3 (Graphed below)
Some points on the line include:
(-7, -4)
(-4, -6)
(0, -26/3)
(2, -10)
(5, -12)
In order to isolate any term from an equation we need to clear out any different variable or numbers different from the one we want
in this case I is being multiplied by R, so we need to do the opposite which is divide in order to eliminate
But since this is an equality we must do it on both sides so de equation does not get altered
Then we simplify the equation

<u>Function modeling</u>
Real-life situations often require the help of mathematics to model numerically what happens when the variables involved can change. It could even be used to predict some expected outcomes from those models.
The problem states Janice receives $.40 per pound when he recycles less or equal than 99 pounds of aluminum. If x is the number of recycled pounds, then the amount of money he receives is
We also know that if he recycles more than 100 pounds of aluminum, the pay increases to $0.5 per pound. In that case, the amount of money is
This is a case where the function is defined differently depending on the conditions of the input variable x. It's called a piecewise function. The function can be written as
Note the function is not well constructed because there is a gap for x=100 where M is not defined. If we establish that for 100 pounds the payment is $0.5, then the second piece would include x=100
