Answer:
Point slope intercept form: The equation for line is given by; ......[1] ; where m is the slope and a point
on the line.
Let x represents the number of days and y represents the number of friends.
As per the statement: After day three, he has 25 friends; after day eight, he has 40 friends.
⇒ We have two points i.e,
(3, 25) and (8, 40)
First calculate slope(m);
Substitute the given values we get;
= 3
now, substitute the given values of m=3 and a point (3, 25) in [1] we get;
Using distributive property;
Add 25 on both sides, we get;
Simplify:
y =3x + 16
if x = 18 days, then;
y = 3(18) + 16 = 54+16 = 70
Therefore, he will have on day 18, if he continues to add the same number of friends each day is, 70 friends.
After 85 minutes of calls, there are $27.25 left on the card.
<h3>What is the remaining credit after 85 minutes of calls?</h3>
A linear equation in slope-intercept form is:
y = a*x + b
Where a is the slope.
If the line passes through two points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) the slope is:
In this case, we know that the line passes through the points (22, 36.7) and (52, 32,20)
(points of the form (time, dollars)).
So the slope is:
The linear equation is then:
y = -0.15*x + b
To find the value of b, we use the point (22. 36.7)
36.7 = -0.15*22 + b
36.7 + 0.15*22 = b = 40
Then the linear equation is:
y = -0.15*x +40
The amount remaining in the credit card after 85 minutes is given by evaluating the above equation in x = 85.
y = -0.15*85 + 40 = 27.25
This means that after 85 minutes of calls, there are $27.25 left on the card.
