Melanie uses the ordered pairs (2010, 48) and (2013, 59) to find her equation. Tracy defines x as the number of years since 2010

and uses the ordered pairs (0, 48) and (3, 59) to find her equation. How will the two girls’ equations compare?

Answer:  The solpes of the two equations are same but y-intercepts are different.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that Melanie uses the ordered pairs (2010, 48) and (2013, 59) to find her equation.

Tracy defines x as the number of years since 2010 and uses the ordered pairs (0, 48) and (3, 59) to find her equation.

We are to compare the equations of Melanie and Tracy.

Since both the girls used two points to find their equations, so the graph of the equations must be straight lines.

<u>Melanie's Equation:</u>  Since two points in Melanie's equation are (2010, 48) and (2013, 59), so the slope of the line will be

m_1=\dfrac{59-48}{2013-2010}=\dfrac{11}{3}\\\\\\\Rightarrow m_1=\dfrac{11}{3}.

Therefore, Melanie's equation is

y-48=m_1(x-2010)\\\\\Rightarrow y-48=\dfrac{11}{3}(x-2010)\\\\\Rightarrow y=\dfrac{11}{3}x-11\times 670+48\\\\\Rightarrow y=\dfrac{11}{3}x-7322.

<u>Tracy's Equation:</u>  Since two points in Tracy's equation are (0, 48) and (3, 59), so the slope of the line will be

m_2=\dfrac{59-48}{3-0}=\dfrac{11}{3}\\\\\\\Rightarrow m_2=\dfrac{11}{3}.

Therefore, Tracy's equation is

y-48=m_2(x-0)\\\\\Rightarrow y-48=\dfrac{11}{3}x\\\\\Rightarrow y=\dfrac{11}{3}x+48.

Thus, we can see that

m_1=m_2~~~\textup{and}~~~-7322\neq 48,

so, the slopes of two equations are same but y-intercepts are different.

Laura got a discount of 100 dollars on her purchase of a 5775 bed.What is the percent of decrease?
matrenka [14]
Remember that percent means parts out of 100
x/100

discount is the decrease
so we divide the decrease by the original total and get
100/5775=0.0173
convert to fraction
0.0173/1
make bottom number 100
multiply by 100/100
1.73/100=1.73%
round
2%

vivado [14]

Answer:

  • Let us rearrange
  • 3y=-2x-12
  • y=-2/3x-4
  • So y intercept is -4
  • I also do exams and quizzes if your interested :)
