Answer:
slope: 5
y-intercept: 3
therefore y=5x+3
Step-by-step explanation:
the slope is the value that is changing; as time passes the price increases by $5 per hour
the y-intercept is where the function crosses the y-axis (when x is 0); so when no time has passed.
Answer:
rectangle
Step-by-step explanation:
The geometric shape that is modeled by a strip on a flag would be a rectangle. That is because just like a rectangle the shape has a total of four sides in which both parallel sides are equal in length to its matching counterpart but at the same time different from its adjacent sides. All of which are characteristics of a rectangle and at the same time found on all strips of flags.
If there are 3 nurses to every 15 patients, that means there is 1 nurse to every 5 patients since we can divide by 3 to simplify the ratio.
in order to find how many nurses would care for 37 patients, we can divide by 5.
37/5 = 7.4 nurses.
however, we cannot have .4 of a nurse, so you can either say 7 nurses or 8 nurses, but 7.4 rounds down to 7.
Either use a graphing calculator or substitute the value of x for x
